Exeter

[meridian_star]

I went on a little trip into Exeter today. I told poodle_foam that I'd do a picspam of it, so here goes!

This is Beer, the center in fact, aka home. The bus stop is in front of the shop.


Now an hour bus journy later and we're in Exeter, this is the bus I took in the bus station. Its a very brightly coloured bus and had a plaque inside saying it was called 'Lost World'.



This, believe it or not, is a very tall bulding for Exeter. Exeter is a short city and this is the tallest in the shopping area... I'm not sure if there are any flatblocks on the outskirts taller but yeah, short.


Here we have the upper end of the main highstreet, where most of the shops are... it's looks boring and yucky, but its better further down, trust me ;)


A bit of modern sculpture. It actually has a poem written on it but you can't really see it here, too shiney.


I'm sorry this is wonky. In Exeter always look up! This is a mural and is on the side of a clothes shop.


Around the corner we have a cookery store...



Heres a bank


The Cathedral... with tourists


Looks like a popular place to eat and drink tea here doesn't it?


Some ruins, Exeter has lots of these... not always with odd modern art in them though...


For all you Muse fans out there, this is where the were discovered


Gandy Street <3 Home of a cool little record shop, a gay bar, various other odd shops and some murals that I love





Okay last one now, here is the new shopping centre, it's not quite finished yet but it's very modern looking so everbody hates it :-P I actually quite like it



I went on a hunt for a magazine but came back without one as Devon is crap and it hasn't got here yet *sighs*. I did, however, get wonderful black & white stripey top and er maybe the latest Anita Blake book.... :-P

Awww You must come to this part of England when you get here ... eventually :)

Yes I really really need stripey trousers...

OH that's wonderful!! I love when people do pic spams. Looks like a rather cool town.

Thanks! Yeah Exeter's great, though many people say its boring, they're just silly :-D

[1twistedsister.livejournal.com]

Looks really awesome and yay for the new top :-) There are some towns in Germany looking a lot like that - the way the houses are built especially.

[meridian-star.livejournal.com]

oh cool! well I guess Germany isn't realy that far away and building fashions do travel ;)

*walks around looking stripey*

I`ve been to Exeter last year. I remember the castle very well. Hmmmm? Will try and find some piccies. I have a friend in Cullompton which we saw last year. How far is that from you?
I really loved that shop Otto Retro. Bought an ashtray,lol. Well something for my 1950s greeny/turqoise collection.
Dying to know now where you are. And I love the Icon, so cute!
= )

I'm not too far away from Collompton, on the same side of Exeter. I live in a village called Beer right on the southern coastline, we have a pebbley beach :)

lol the retro shop scares me!

[annie4th.livejournal.com]

We had a look on the map. It`s not that far. We`ve been to Sidmouth too. Quite liked it, especially the ice cream. Don`t have that here so much. What scares you about the retro shop? LOL

[annie4th.livejournal.com]

Cathedral of course. * GRIN * Oh and I couldn`t get any of those magazines myself. = (

[meridian-star.livejournal.com]

I could find the July issue of PowerPlay but not the August one, it hasn't reached here yet it would seem, but I found a newsagents in Seaton (next town over) that does it, so will keep an eye for it

[annie4th.livejournal.com]

Lucky me. They had a refit at Smith`s today and all the mags were muddled up. The guy there said it`s best to come back tomorrow. Oh dear!

*hides face in shame*

I just now saw this...;_; I'm so out of the loop and behind! *pulls hair*

Beautiful pictures though....I want to visit England SO BAD. Actually, I'm beginning to dislike living here so if I could pick a country, England is totally on my list. <333 :D
