Today was special ; a real treat of a day; a most fabulous sunny summer's day... in autumn!
I enjoyed it so much and would love for you to share with me in the delights of...
Exeter Quay! (And maybe a little bit more than the Quay!! ;-)
As in the city, tea rooms, cafes, pubs etc are plenty. But it is the cellars that I really love..come with me along here...
And this is what you get ...
The Quay was busy today...
We walked back to the city this way...along Colleton Crescent.
It was then that I found it! My new home!!
It had to be mine...! ;-)
Gandy Street was almost deserted when we said goodbye and made our way home.
Exeter...my love!
Semper Fidelis = Always Faithful
That says it all..well almost..because..
Today was my last visit to Exeter with Nich...for a while. He will be wandering a little further afield for the next 5 weeks!!
Whilst I will be quite content to visit Exeter,regularly..he will be visiting Amsterdam,Munich,Berlin, Barcelona,Nice...and a host of other places in Europe!!
His blog will be one amazing blog when he returns!!
And until he returns,mine might be a little spattered with tears every now and again as I know how much I will miss him!
But I am excited for him too ;-)
So have a wonderful time Nich...go safe and ..see you in Exeter on Nov 9th ! ;-)
Exeter looks amazing. I can't remember ever visiting, but definately will now, I would be more than happy mooching around looking at all those lovely things.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. All the very best to Nich on his travels.

This looks lovely, I think a trip to Exeter is on the cards...

I've never been to Exeter - so that's another one to add to the list.
ReplyDeleteExeter looks wonderful - just right for a weekend-break perhaps? The quayside house - a mere snip;)! The only time I've been in Exeter was years ago when we arrived on the bus station very early in the morning and had to wait quite a while to change coaches on our way to Torquay - I can see from your photos that I must rectify this soon:)
ReplyDeleteConsidering how close Taunton is to Exeter I've only been into the town once - and that was during a holiday at dawlish before we ever moved here. My visits to Exeter have been to Sandy Park to watch the Chiefs (my mother's day present from DD1) or to the Exeter Saracens ground to watch the aforementioned daughter play rugby herself. I can see another visit just for me has to go onto the schedule - in between all the taxi service runs to sports fixtures of course!
ReplyDeleteI loved looking through your blog. Beautiful photos!

Years ago we were going to move to Exeter and it has been wonderful to see photos of it again. I remember roaming up and down those streets too! Thank you! Hope all goes well with Nich on his travels

Sal,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your lovely photos. I wish I was there.
Thank you for the lovely tour around Exeter. I don't think you'd be a fool to live in Fool's Paradise!
ReplyDeleteI love Exeter we usually go shopping there 2 or 3 times a year but have never been to the Quay. I'll have to take a wander down there next time, those cellars look very interesting!

You really are going to have to get a commission from the Exeter Tourist Board you know ;-) Wonderful photos. x
ReplyDeleteHello Sal,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog... I've surely enjoyed visiting yours!
Your photos of Exeter, Much Wenlock and Ludlow were a delight to see and loved your little narrative.
