You might be fooled when walking in through the door of NGNG on Fore Street in Exeter that you have entered one of the biomes at The Eden Project. Full to bursting with amazing greenery in all shapes and sizes on the floor, hanging from the ceiling and adorning the walls. This surely has toRead more
One of my favourite boutiques in Exeter is Lorna Ruby. Nestled in behind House of Fraser on Catherine Street and a stones throw from the cities beautiful cathedral. It has a perfect central location. From the moment the shop opened its doors almost 5 years ago I have been a regular visitor. Admiring the beautifulRead more
A visit to local independents is more than shopping and parting with your hard-earned cash. It’s the experience. From the gentle welcome to the in-depth knowledge of the staff selling their wares.

I love the array of independent shops and cafes here. It makes Topsham feel special – different from the boringRead more
