Well, I Am Still All Behind ...
Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 11:37 amBut, at least I am still here!
I realised I had a few sets of icons to make, so photos are still to be sorted. However I have a couple here from around Exeter ... I am lucky I live in a very historic city.
Our history is pre-Roman ... but this is where the city was truly established
This is the Roman gatehouse of the castle ... built in 1068 ... and is the oldest "complete" Norman building
The Guildhall was started in the 13th century and is still in use for it's original reason - the longest span of history in England (of a single building that has not changed it's use ... other than a Church)

This is King Charles II's sister ... she was born in Exeter, and her father King Charles I visited here to see her as a baby. She lived locally until she was 2 years old ... thus her brother gave us the portrait when she died (possibly of poison!).

Our present King is Charles III and he was involved with the renovation of the cloisters while Prince of Wales, but has maintained the patronage as King
So, a story of 3 King Charle's!!!!
Right - I need to get on and get to work ...
21. How would you describe the décor in your main living area?
Eclectic!!
Busy.
Home!
Right, see you again tomorrow x
