an odd thing in exeter


3 events are round the corner 2 in the Devon area and one in Gloucestershire. Logistics are proving fun. We never have any idea how much we will get and for new partners that's hard to understand. So on Saturday, Thursday and Tuesday some food, hopefully a lot, will need to make it's way from Devon and Cheltenham to places as diverse as Exeter, Swindon, Manchester, Gloucester, Bristol, Wolverhampton, Coventry, the list goes on. For some reason the fact that people are living destitutute in Exeter seems faintly surreal. Not what I, as a northerner, expect from a holiday destination. Destitution feels like it should be a big city wound. There's no logic to my feelings, but somehow I feel if the politicians knew people were destitute near the UK's beautiful south west coatline it should make a difference. It know it won't.
