THIS MONTH in exeter

Issue 83...out now!

The look of love

kathyextercover_59.jpgLove is in the air! Once again it is that time of year when I have to take a day off work to sort through all my post. This isn’t taking into account all the flowers that will fill every vase I own and the chocolates that will be the excuse I need to ‘start my diet tomorrow’. Yes,  it is Valentine’s Day and unfortunately the perfect occasion to indulge my fantasies. I live in hope!

It is also the time when marriage proposals break out in abundance and in this issue we focus on weddings (page 32). Have a look at our editor’s choice page (page 46) for some romantic gift ideas.

If romance isn’t your thing I hope you will find something else in this cram packed issue to take your fancy.

See you in our City Special

joeditorexeter_59.jpgI have to admit that I do like a good wedding. While yet to find someone willing to walk up the aisle as the organist plays The Voice That Breathed O’er Eden myself, I have reached that stage in life when a disgustingly large number of my friends are tying the knot.
While all this couply bliss is something of an anathema to a dyed-in-the-wool old bachelor like myself, it does afford an excuse for some truly magnificent parties. Plus, of course, it’s an excuse to dig out the old morning suit, which can’t be worn too often in my opinion.
I do feel for the bride and groom on these occasions mind. As far as I can see, the months before the big day are one long period of trial and tribulation. What they need to smooth their passage to marital bliss is a quick read of Hayley Rowe’s excellent wedding guide on page 32. From what’s hot in the world of dresses, to handy tips on picking the best local photographer, she’s got every angle covered.

Continuing the romance theme, Kate Authers has some seriously saucy suggestions on how to undress to impress this Valentine’s Day on page 55, Laura Rowe cooks up the food of love on page 62 and our Editor’s Choice has some great gift ideas for the loved one in your life.

Elsewhere, we look forward to this years Animated Exeter on page 50, Chris Archambault has a vegetarian treat for you on page 68 and Milly Gale goes in search of Hollywood-white teeth on page 70.

It’s all go I tell you
