A Sidwell Street Cafe Lost a Year of its Own Video. Getting it Back Took Ten Minutes

The owner of a small cafe near Sidwell Street spent last spring building up a decent following on Instagram. Short clips of the coffee, the Saturday queue, the dog that sits outside on Tuesdays. Two thousand followers, which for a single-site independent is a genuine asset.

Then the phone that shot all of it went into a sink.

Everything was still on Instagram, visible to anyone scrolling. None of it was on the new phone, and nobody had thought about backups, because posting had never felt like archiving.

The reason this matters beyond one cafe is that a lot of...

We had a great night thanks to The Exeter Daily!

What a great night we had on 5th November, courtesy of The Exeter Daily. I just can't believe how much money must have been spent on the fireworks, the pictures on this site are great but don't do the event full justice. The display went on for ages and the fireworks were spectacular from start to finish, towards the end it was mind-blowing with lots all being set off at the same time and merging together in the cold night sky. Great that it was a clear night, even though very cold.

Thank you Round Table, well worth a visit and I will be coming again next year !
