Exeter – a clone city, we don’t think so!

Having popped into Exeter, earlier this week, we were amazed at the pace of the
build of the new Princesshay city centre redevelopment.  Walking in the mightly
shadow of three large cranes, it looks like the new project will be an exciting draw
for new business, jobs and visitors to the city.  Let’s hope the development will
not only

Winter cafe culture

This morning we went to Exeter, and spent a few relaxing hours mouching around the
quay. Coffee, ‘naughty but nice’ cake, sunday newspapers, winter sun, little
eclectique shops, trendy galleries, wildlife (well, swans and ducks for the kiddies
to feed) … and there’s more, its a great place to walk (woof woof, nods our cocker
spaniel) and cycle (for

Who’s that girl, too (or at the chalk face)

Was in Exeter yesterday and saw this face on the street

Who’s that girl?

So we’re told (by everything) that’s she’s going to be celebrity.

But if she wasn’t a celebrity already, what was she doing in there?

Sex and the Lib Dems

Aren’t they sweet. They all seem completely shocked that their sexual proclivities would be of any interest to anyone. They don’t even seem that interested themselves. How refreshing. But I remember a Labour Party that would do away with sleaze, instead we’ve developed a culture of ‘newspeak’ and double talk [see When I hear the

Left out in the cold

Who says left wing politics is unattractive. There’s Gorgeous George in the Big Brother house (yes, I know I’m pandering to the masses and trying to get a few more hits by mentioning that most unsatisfactory of anaesthetised programming, but some people like it… I’m assured).

When I hear the word ‘choice’ I reach for my gun

It would be foolish to suggest practices should continue just because they have been in place for a long time. But then again, why should every change be excused by the offer to increase choice?
Whenever ‘choice’ is bandied around I know I will probably be offered a lot more of something I don’t want.
So it

Law unto itself

Personally, I think the railway was doing better when it was nationalised.

Atkins Law, newly installed in the former railway offices in Exeter, has tried to create a relaxed environment, which includes family friendliness and exhibitions by local artists. Clare Fisher’s and Emma Fisher’s work is on show. The firm specialises in employment and immigration law, so get

You move too fast

Oh there is so much I need to blog about… the dangers of planting trees to soak up carbon dioxide (trees are evil, apparently – this has been going on since before Christmas), local tourism (there is a whole host of events coming up, and as a tourist centre the whole enviromental tourism thing isn’t

She’s fresh (and exciting)

Last night artist Lucie Bennett was in Exeter with her exhibition at the BritArt/Eyestorm gallery on the quay.
As well as commisioned work for House of Fraser and Selfridges, Lucie Bennett has auctioned work on behalf of the Terrence Higgins Trust, exhibited at galleries around the world such as Square Art exhibitions in Golden Square, London

Food miles v Fair trade.

I do believe Devon County Council are to be looking at cutting down food miles in the county. They may not of course, but is seems to me, we are better placed than many to make the most of our agricultural heritage, keep jobs, promote healthy living and enhance the region’s reputation as a destination

Wind of change

Getting through the weekend papers I read a marvellous piece by Gaby Wood on Ariel Levy’s Female Chauvinist Pigs in the Observer. Read it on the Guardian website
