On our journey to see the Exeter Quay (pronounced ‘key’), we were able to catch this little historical building. “The House that Moved” was originally built in the late Middle Ages, but it was relocated in 1961 when the entire street was demolished to make way for a new bypass leading to a new bridge. It has also been called “The Merchant House” and “The Tudor House.”
The old city walls are so beautiful and they make a really nice backdrop for portraits…sometimes Bodhi indulges me. However, the cobblestones are more picturesque than functional. Still, like everything here, it’s marker of time, a marvel of construction.
The summer weather is cool in the mornings and evenings, but we quickly found that we could get warm with all our walking. We were also experiencing a hotter than usual summer. The river is so pretty with all the little shops lining either side and the swans gliding across the smooth water.
We had the perfect water front view and decided to indulge in a little seafood lunch at Rockfish. Although, it turned out to be NOT little, but I managed to eat every one of those mussels. So sweet and salty and cooked to perfection. Even Bodhi got adventurous and tried fish sticks for the first time. We were able to see folks kayaking down the river as we ate and decided that we would definitely be back to do that another time.
