30th November 2017
I drove into Exeter, the first time I have ever been to the city. I was advised to use the park and ride, so off I went.
The journey took me on the M5 with the car park just off the exit ramp.
Trying to find a space was the first objective, the spaces seemed so narrow, but eventually found one. Then I joined a procession of grey haired people being lured to a red bus, like the march of the living dead. Being more agile than the rest I overtook them to secured my place in the front seat on the top deck. Choosing the seat behind the stairs was bad as the foot space was restricted, or I have large feet.
Fifteen minutes later I was in the centre trying to remember how to find the bus stop for the return journey. With that logged into my brain, I set off on my expedition.
The march of the zombies continued, as the ones from the bus merged with those already there, milling around, getting in my way.
I spent many hours walking around, including John Lewis.
I was amazed by the cost of a mattress these days, one would save a lot of money if you didn’t need to sleep.
It was a pleasant day, and I was able to start my Christmas shopping.
