Favourite place to blow away the cobwebs…

I love the Goat Walk in Topsham – I feel very lucky to have this beautiful spot on our doorstep.

Best place for coffee…

The Curator Café in Totnes’ Butterwalk – it’s the perfect blend of a coffee shop and a sustainable department store.

 

Most underrated spot in Devon…

Greenway on the banks of the River Dart is a gem, especially when you travel by ferry.

My go-to for gifts is…

Locally, I love to go to the Maker Mart in Exeter. Craftmongers in Ashburton is another favourite - these spaces are always so inspiring.

 

Coast or Moors?

The coast - it’s all about the fresh sea air and the sound of the waves for me.

A local place on my list to try is…

Glebe House - stunning interiors, exceptional food, and a beautiful setting. It’s pure bliss.

Favourite beach…

It’s tough to choose, but Wembury Beach is a recent find for us, and it’s been a big hit with the boys.

Local place on my list to try…

Le Vin Perdu in Ashburton and Circa in Totnes are next on my list! [err, us too!]

This year, I tried something new:

I started learning how to make chocolate with Nicola from Exe Chocolate - it’s been fascinating!

Next year, I want to…

Explore more of Devon’s cycle trails with my bike-mad boys.
