Those look like most of the photos Blanca published on FB.
I think that for now she has given up publishing the blog of her trip because of too many glitches within the blog program.
Maiden Castle Iron Age Fort village
BajaBlanca - 5-23-2015 at 01:59 PM
We went to this man-made iron age fort -ie: before the Romans invaded Britain.
They built up the hill to make invaders visible from afar
They made a maze to get up it to make invasion very difficult
The people lived at the top
Truly amazing feat:

Thanks, Blanca, one of these days I'll see it in person. Really love your posts. Enjoy!BajaBlanca - 5-24-2015 at 02:07 AM
thanks -much more to come.....I have abandoned the blog since it wont load my pics. If anyone knows of another freebee blog with picture loading
capability, pls. let me know.
I created an account for photobucket under the name Blanquita Heil which Les though amusing. I am out of room on bajablanca1 and almost out of space
on bajablanca2, so I had to get creative!
Ok, off to explore more soon. ta ta (as they say here)
THE MAIN HOUSE - this beautiful home has raised 4 generations of kids. It is a working dairy farm although Arthur is now downsizing in preparation for
retirement. He does the vegetable gardening and his wife Genesta does the flower gardening. England is famous for its gardens and Somerset is living
proof - everyone's garden is more colorful than the last!
THIS HAS BEEN A DAIRY FARM - NO ONE TO TAKE OVER MEANS CHANGES CHANGES
THERE IS MORE BUT I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE PICS FROM THE NEW PHONE WE BOUGHT....

Beautiful and peaceful, thanks.BajaBlanca - 5-24-2015 at 09:51 AM
TMW it is amazingly quiet here - the birds sing all day long. No rain (we are lucky) and slight breezes. Coolish but not cold. Love it!BajaBlanca - 5-24-2015 at 09:56 AM
Paul - those are good links!
Roman House in Dorchester
BajaBlanca - 5-24-2015 at 09:59 AM
In case you didn't get a chance to see this - Paul made a link that works!
This was found and preserved - isn't it amazing how HUGE the Roman empire was???? This is in the south of England!
Typical here in England that older buildings are preserved and converted into businesses. The best way to keep history alive.
This is where we had lunch a couple days ago - great food - sorry that we were so busy eating that I did not get pics but the sandwiches were huge and
could easily have fed 2 with only one. We ended up taking half home and eating it the next day.

today was auction day - we went to 2 auctions-one in Bath and one in Binegar. I love the name Binegar since it rhymes with Vinegar
I have mixed the pics up but both auction viewings were interesting - one had more furniture and the other had more "things"
enjoy the show:
THEY HAD THE MUSIC BOX PLAYING and a lot of albums to go with it: #313
sewing kit:
it is upside down but it is a very old beautiful volume of SHAKESPEARE
Some grandma had an album of probably 50 postcards - birthday cards etc
tea anyone? I don't drink tea and I think I am considered remarkably odd!
BOOK TITLE - THE COMPLETE ANGLER:
THIS WAS ONE OF TWO IN THE BATH AUCTION AND I UNDERSTAND THEY SHOULD FETCH A PRETTY PENNY BEING ONE OF THE EARLIEST DUTCH CERAMICS:
WE ARE VERY LUCKY AS THEY WEATHER HAS BEEN COOL, NOT COLD. SOMETIMES CLOUDY BUT BUT NOT RAINY.
IT WAS SUCH A RELAXING DAY - MORE PICS SOON ON THE PUB WE ATE AT!

Street is the name of the village closest to where we are staying. It is quaint and small. Just a bunch of ma and pa shops, which I love!
A one road town, here looks toward the other direction
Typical British cap for the new sports car Les bought!
And the flowers are lovely
