Featured Photos - Exeter Quay
This week's collection of photos
Exeter is our nearest city, so we’re semi-regular visitors. This time we went through the quayside, which must once have served the traffic on the river and the canal, but now it’s a nice area to stroll. There are plenty of craft shops and cafes, but most of the latter are small. That’s great in Summer when we can sit outside and gaze at the river over your americano, but not so great in early Feb, and we must’ve poked our noses into every little cafe before we retired to a larger place nearby.
A restaurant/bar that’s part of a chain isn't what we were looking for, but we ended up with a decent hot lunch, so all was well with the world. Later we mooched into the city centre, stopping off at an Oxfam shop that specialises in vintage items. I picked up a double album by Tony Bennett on vinyl for the vast sum of £2, and it looks like a nice, clean copy.
I also found an small embossing press, so I snapped it up. I’m hoping to (somehow) make a custom stamp so I can emboss signed copies of my paperbacks and offer them for sale. A project for a rainy day. and if I can’t figure it out, at least the machine is quite heavy, so it will make a good paperweight.
Here are the photos.
Three ways to enjoy the photos: a collage in the email, separate images in the substack app, an interactive gallery in the online post.
