Incomunicato

Because we are situated on a hillside, the internet and phone capabilities are very limited.  I will post more pictures when I get back to Grimsby.  I am enjoying the opportunity of getting to know my Aunt and Uncle as well as my cousins Philip and Amanda (and Amanda's wonderful family).  Yesterday we went to Montecute house.  The house along with the gardens and artwork was beautiful.  Today Amanda and her children took me to visit Wells.  The architecture, the layout of towns built hundreds of years ago and the grandure of it all was mesmerizing.

Montecute House, in Montecute, how .......cute.  That's how I remembered the name.  You might think this is silly, but I have had to learn about 300 student's names and so many new places with foreign names that tricks like this are invaluable.

In front on the Bishops Palace at Wells Cathedral in Wells.  I was willing to break the rules and jump over a barrier to get a picture of this car, but then the driver got in and pulled up to us.  Then he kindly got out to speak to someone and thus I got this amazing shot. (Thanks to Amanda's son who called us back.)

West side of Wells Cathedral.

Vicars close, this is one of the oldest roads in Europe.

Another touch of spring.  It was a beautiful day today, when the sun was out it must have been close to 18 or 20 degrees.
