Credit to Crediton

 

Waiting for the train

Bright and early on Saturday we set off to Crediton and then go back into Exeter later on in  the day. 

GWR were doing some work to the railways so we had to rely on their rail replacement bus service to get into Crediton once we'd arrived at Exeter St Davids.  Can't criticise the service though because both there and back the coach was on time, if only the trains could be as punctual!

We had a brilliant time in Crediton trawling the shops and found some real gems.  Vintage handbags, designer ties including a beautiful one by Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo, a supersize Friends coffee cup (could it BE any cooler) and a gorgeous men's Tootal scarf.

We visited the Crediton Antiques Centre and had a good look round too.  Lots of lovely items for sale and we spoke to the lovely Ayesha who runs it. Ayesha's also the organiser of the new Devon Salvage Fairs which are held at South Molten Indoor Pannier Market.  The next fair's on Sunday 17 February 2019.  We've heard lots of good things about the fairs so fingers crossed we're able to get to one in the next few months.
