My most expensive Sunday

This morning, Exeter was greatly sunny - had been to be more precise/grammatically correct before I decided to have a rare day out without any certain agenda. But as soon as I stepped out, the sky turned rather cloudy, which was not ideal for my shots once again as if I ever had a series of good free days to take photos this year.

I walked slowly and wandered on my ordinary route to town, thinking where my next destination was for the day. I heard about a coffee place with great food a while ago, I haven't been to Exeter's Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Art Gallery since it reopened after years of refurbishment either, or even just a random walk around the Quay Side.

By now, you must have thought I am a guy who always stays in. Not exactly by nature but there have been certain non-negotiable circumstances.

Anyway, I ended up at the coffee place - Bills' cafe for a traditional British breakfast, which turned out to be the most expensive breakfast I have ever had for my own. It's not that I don't like to indulge myself with decent food, but I hardly or never do this on my own as I always have the need to save money for my technology obsession; moreover £7.95 for a coffee breakfast is really expensive with 10% service - ending up at £8.75???!!!


Though, the food was great and judging from the look of the menu and the surroundings, I could tell it is surprisingly healthy too (hopefully).


Having thought about coming to the Museum, I decided I can go there on common rainy day and should enjoy the sun as much as I can get. I walked to the Quay Side, with some music on and started to snap some photos of the swans.

And it's raining now, finally, hahaha :).

  1. come on! bacon healthy?? hahah let me disagree

    Just don't be too harsh, allow yourself a sunny day out enjoying an english breakfast without looking at the price. Funny, whenever I remember Exeter's swans an image of them following you through the snow and along the quay flashes to my mind ^^
