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

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

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?

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

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

I do believe Devon County Council are to be looking at cutting down food miles in the county.
