Time in Taunton

 We took Violet out to Taunton for the afternoon, revisiting the county Museum of Somerset, a fantastic (and free, donations accepted) outing we last visited in 2016.

We started with a coffee at Caffe Nero, which is housed in an absolutely gorgeous Tudor building. It's one of those places that I'm grateful is a coffee shop, so we're allowed in to look around!

We then walked around a bit, and ended up at the museum. I have very positive memories of it from nine years ago, and it was just as good as I remembered.

This was a display of very old hanging bronze pots, because South Petherton and Montacute were leaders in the cauldron industry in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Later, Stace, Vi and I made a detour to a farm in Stoke St. Gregory to purchase raw milk from a farmer. We then stopped at Burrow Mump and climbed to the ruins of the monument.

So happy Violet is up for little adventures like this! She enjoys beauty and history, so driving through the gorgeous countryside and making these little stops makes all of us happy. (Sadly, Cora's carsickness keeps her closer to home.)
