Sunny Exeter

What weather we're having, here in Devon!

Just the weather for hopping on a train! ;-)

Come with me for a jolly jaunt around the capital city of Devon

Down the hill (Fore Street) we go....almost to the bottom.

This is where Otto Retro is situated.

I love it as there's always something different to see....

not like your clone shops, which I do so hate, don't you ? !

There's always plenty in this little shop to take you back in time.

Athena , the owner, is in residence this time and so we can

have a chat with her before moving on.

Walking back up the hill, just

a little way, and then turn right and we come to...

The beautiful house on the left of the photo is very famous...it's the one they actually

moved ...as it was in the way of a proposed inner by pass.

What a feat!

Let's cross the road ,walk down the steps and we are at Exeter Quay...

There's always plenty to see here,including a little antiques/bric - a - brac shop

and plenty of places to eat.

Time for a quick cuppa .

It's getting very hot indeed!

Just look at that sky!!

Every year, there is a craft festival on the green at Exeter Cathedral.

Luckily, that's coincided with our visit!

'That's the way to do it!'

'Vintage Inspiration' and the lovely Amanda is here with her creations...

A great day and a feast of crafts!

I'll be back later on in the week to announce the winner of my last giveaway!

Sunny Devon;-)

It might well be winter in the north of the country but

yesterday, in the south, we had a snippet of springtime!

And jolly nice it was too!

The sun was out in Exeter and it was very warm.

I felt positively overdressed in my winter coat!

It was a day for a long walk around my favourite city.

Come with me!

There's no finer place to be in Exeter

when the sun is visiting than Exeter Quay.

And since we last visited a new vintage shop has sprung up.

Did I say new vintage...?!

Plenty of choice here, for lovers of all things vintage and retro.

There's plenty going on down at the quay and when

the sun comes out, so do the people.

I loved these garden items and the shadows they made on the door.

And one of these terraced houses, overlooking the quay,

would suit me fine!

We ambled back to the top of the town and almost collapsed

here ....

The fireplace, which is part of the bar, was certainly not needed

yesterday as the sweat was pouring off me as I downed

my drink .

Well deserved!

And a picture of contentment! ;-)
