Shopping

‘Of course there’s a garage (Jones), a Post Office, the Wivey Hardware store, a Co-Op, a small garden centre (North Street Garden Shop), a new Country Feeds store, an antique centre (Yew Tree), every outdoor item you can think of from West Country Guns, the gift shop Secret Island, a treasure trove of local craft talent, and now, that greatest gift to a town, a bookshop: Chocolate Books.’

William Sitwell
