In spring Somerset several town signs become surrounded by yellow daffodils.

Twined with Las Vegas – What happens in Dulcote, stays in Dulcote

You may not have noticed but the tiny hamlet of Dulcote is twined with the enormous city of Las Vegas.  Do you think Las Vegas knows this?  It has the fountains of the Bellagio Hotel famous from the Ocean’s Eleven film. Dulcote has a central fountain that is powered by gravity.  So they do have something in common.

Mark

This must be the longest village in Somerset, so has lots of opportunities to show off its daffodils.

This is one of few pictures I have of the fountain at Dulcote.  Obviously, currently spring is not this cold.
