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...

A new activity is hitting the streets of Exeter this week with the launch of the Tramble App, a 60-minute walking challenge where you answer 10 questions based on what you see along the route.

There are currently two of the Tramble walks in Exeter with more to follow in the summer.

I went out and did the Exeter Cathedral and Quay Tramble and saw a few parts of hidden Exeter that I have always somehow missed before. There is the House that Moved and a famous literary connection I was dumbfounded by.
