Exmouth


So this is the seaside in Exmouth. Exmouth is a town about 10 miles from Exeter. You see, there is a river called Exe. Exmouth, because its by the mouth of the river. Exeter, which on 16th an 17th century maps is Execester. -cester is another word for chester, which would be a town of over 100,000 people in Western England. All this I figured out from looking at the loads of maps, from present to way back when. Plus the dictionary.

So anyway, we went to Exmouth today. While it was only 10 miles out, we took the car and it took near 40 minutes. Next time its the train for sure. Traffic is a pain. But its a nice quaint town with little shops and seaside... stuff. There a few more pics I took in the my other blog: Os Donatus Nobis Per Apparatus.
