Taunton

As you know we enjoy taking little breaks every now and then. Today we drove to Taunton for a three day spell.  Hmm, why Taunton I hear you ask, well indeed, why not.

In 1973 I started a new job as a senior computer operator at Debenhams Support Centre in this town.  I stayed there a few years and left as Programming Team Leader, when I moved with my wife, Peter and Andrew, both born in Taunton, for a new job in Brecon, Wales.

I must admit I did not recognise anything of the town when we took a wander around the centre, though we did find the oldest Nero in the country, the building is dated 1578!

Eventually we managed to find the office block where I used to work, it didn't look any different except they've erected a statue, presumably in my memory, see extras.

The main picture is part of the castle, home to the Somerset Museum, which we're planning to visit tomorrow.
