Exeter

Wed 6th March

Today I visited the UK Met office at Exeter,  this is where all forecasts for the general public, and government agencies in the UK are generated.

I learnt about some forecasting tools that are as yet unavailable to the general public but which can be used  to show the probability and timing of  wind gusts, which could be helpful when applying pesticides near sensitive areas.

I also visited the Exeter Cathedral and a Roman built wall dating back to the first century which surrounded the city.  During the second world war the cathedral was one of the only buildings that survived the blitz in Exeter. It is a trully amazing building, the photo in no way does the architecture the justice it deserves

On the way back to Bristol I discovered the hamlet of Loxton, it is quite a bit smaller than Loxton in Australia but very picturesque
