Good Day Sunshine!

 

Ready for a day in the sun!

If Saturday could be described in one word, it would be ‘glorious’! From start to finish it was sunny and warm, just like a mini heatwave.

Perfect timing then for our trip to Exmouth and Topsham. We got the 7.30 train direct to Exeter St David's then ran like mad things to platform 1 to get the train onto Exmouth. Although it meant we got there before the shops opened (now that is early on a Saturday) it did mean that we got early pickings!

Pint at the Powder Monkey

We had a really successful trawl of the Exmouth charity shops and went to visit Exmouth's Antiques and Collectables Centre. It's always great to see owner Kirk Axson before popping in to Spooneys' Powder Monkey pub for our early lunchtime cider pit stop.

 



With the lovely Liberty Sisters

Then it was onto Topsham to see The Liberty Sisters and the South West Lindy Hop Dancers as part of the Spring Forward event. They were brilliant and we strutted some vintage moves ourselves.  

Great moves by the South West Lindy Hop Dancers

We spoke to The Liberty Sisters afterwards to say thank you for such a great show and they mentioned they've got 60 gigs ahead of them this year! If you get the chance you must go and see them.  

Vintage handbags, one of our many great finds on Saturday

To finish off our day before heading off home we visited the charity shops and Topsham's Antiques Centre.  

Another successful day, thank goodness for the sunshine!
