Having just visited the city of St Albans which the Romans occupied over 2,000 years ago, the Roman name of which is Verulamium, I thought you might like to see a picture of St Albans Abbey, which is a magnifient building and looking at it from the perspective of the 21st century with modern building methods and mechanical machinery it leaves one in wonder how the craftsmen in those days managed to contruct the building. Have a prosperous 2014.
I haven't uploaded anything lately on my blog, but cycling not too far from home I took a picture of this plough (American plow!) beside a farmer's field, which reminds one of the advancement of modern farming methods over the past century. The other picture is the lane where I live. There is a small bridge over the River Lea, the river eventually flows into the River Thames. Have a nice Christmas.
