I actually set my alarm to it's normal time as I had arranged to meet Christine in Exeter - so I walked into the city and met her off her bus at the bus station.

We then walked to the cathedral, which was part of her reason for coming in ... it's free for non-residents to visit this week.  So, as ever, I had a great walk round, and saw of the beautiful things that the Cathedral is filled with ... and even saw some things I had never noticed before ... here are a few pictures

The nativity set will be left out until Candlemass (2/2)


From there we walked to the museum and had a wander round there, as you can see ...

After our sightseeing we caught a bus to the outskirts of the city as friends of hers had suggested we meet up for lunch.  I hadn't met them before but have heard a lot about them ... so a steak dinner (& icecream) later I certainly was pleased we had met up ... especially as they insisted on paying!

Now back hoome and editing the photos, and now waiting for them to upload so I can post them.  While that is happeneing I have a couple of pressies to wrap, and a couple of letters to write so I can post them.
