Utility

Today was a short day, from Exeter (fortress on the Exe) to Exmouth (more obvious). This gets me back to the sea, so that I can do a bit of the Jurassic Coast before heading inland for a good while.

So it was a link day, more about its utility as a mode of transport than the scenery. And there were quite a lot of utilities, and modes of transport.

On reflection, I think this counts.

This utility isn’t very useful.

Nice of them to stamp my initials on it. Eat your heart out, Jeremy Corbyn.

This pavement was teaming with utilities — BT, Virgin Media, and some other stuff.

This turns out to be quite close when a train passes.

I got to Exmouth with time to relax, and rest my feet for tomorrow.

But I still had a bit of a wander. Next to this plaque, but hard to photograph, was a more modern one which rather shamefacedly pointed out that Ada was more than just a daughter, she was a pioneer of computing (probably).

Tomorrow is a long day, but at least it ends in a pun.
