Stonelands House
1 Jan 2009

I have just taken my dog for a walk and the strong smell of smoke led me to Weech Road. I was saddened to see Stonelands House well ablaze. When speaking to one of the fireman he told me there were 12 Fire Engines and 2 Hydraulics in attendance.

An interesting letter in tonight's Express & Echo, a sighting of several bright orange lights moving slowly over Exeter on Christmas night at around 6pm.
