The garden and parkland at Killerton estate near Exeter, is one of the top places in the Southwest to see early spring blooms; and this year they are putting on quite a show.

University vice-chancellors were criticised today for enjoying significant pay rises as staff endured real-terms pay cuts and rises in pension contributions.
New figures revealed that Sir Steve Smith of the University of Exeter, was the fourth highest paid in the country with a package of £386,000.
The University and College Union said the lack of self-awareness from university bosses, who pleaded poverty when it came to paying staff, was an embarrassment to higher education. Pay and benefits for university leaders increased, on average, by more than £5,000 in 2011-12, with...

If Cabinet agrees, the matter will be analysed by a joint meeting of two scrutinising committees the following day (12 March) and a final decision will be made by Full Council at a special meeting on 25 March. The timings have been set to avoid this major decision getting caught...
Dean Mumm believes Exeter Chiefs can ill afford to let their standards slip when they tackle winless London Welsh in the Aviva Premiership this Saturday (3pm).

Henry Slade’s 11-point haul with the boot, plus Will Chudley’s late try, ensured the Chiefs of a 16-6 victory against a Bath side, who in turn countered with two penalties...
