Works to replenish the rock revetment in front of Exmouth’s historic listed seawall were given the go ahead at a meeting of East Devon District Council on 25 July 2018.
The repairs to the revetment, which is adjacent to the recently completed Mamhead slipway, are required in response to a continual lowering of the estuary seabed in this location. The rock revetment, which was originally constructed in the 1970s, has become increasingly ineffective over the past ten years. The rock at the western end is moving away from the toe of the seawall, leaving it unprotected and vulnerable....

Exeter’s premier dining club, Ladies Do Lunch met for their summer luncheon at Lympstone Manor where they enjoyed a fascinating demonstration by Ed Moorman from Truggs Florists in Exeter. He created three stunning arrangements. The day included a tour of the new Lympstone Manor vineyard followed by a champagne and canapé reception and a stunning three course lunch.
All good things must come to an end and Wild Willy has decided to call "Time gentleman please" on his sometimes tempestuous relationship with John Otway to concentrate on "experimental projects over his remaining years."
The dynamic duo have known each other from an early age, both hailing from the small town of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.
As is often the case when two such creative forces and strong personalities collide there is inevitable friction and fall out but when everything gels the result is pure musical magic.

Exeter City continued their positive start to the season as they beat Morecambe 2-0 at the Globe Arena.
In what was a tough test for Matt Taylor’s side, they had to defend bravely and take their chances when presented.
And they did just that when Pierce Sweeney comfortably converted a penalty on the stroke of half-time before Jayden Stockley doubled City’s lead with an excellent header just after the hour mark.
City manager Matt Taylor named an unchanged team from the side that beat Carlisle United on the opening day of the season.
