My husband (the MM) is the one in the cap!<BR/><BR/>If you click on the link to the Merry harriers in my post and then select their 'About us' option, you will see directions from the A38 and the motorway. We were headed for the Five bells at Clyst Hydon but found it was closed, a lucky mischance or we wouldn't have seen Killerton.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-24170587493760371332008-02-19T11:26:00.001+00:002008-02-19T11:26:00.001+00:00Wonderful pictures, especially the boots :-)My fav...Wonderful pictures, especially the boots :-)<BR/><BR/>My favorite are the primroses.

Lovely photos, must pop over within the next week or two to see the flowers for myself. Yes, Killerton is not much to look at but inside it's very good with, as you supposed, an excellent costume collection. They often have events there as well and have a pretty good second hand book shop in the stable block. And I must add - how nice you and your husband look!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22922478.post-18399003445571124222008-02-19T07:53:00.000+00:002008-02-19T07:53:00.000+00:00What a shame that you couldn't enjoy the sunny day...What a shame that you couldn't enjoy the sunny days, D.
