Just passing through...

So my friend decided we had to try and find a recommended chocolate shop...

somewhere in Exmoor.


The Exmoor National Park stretches over Somerset and Devon. Situated on the Bristol Channel, it covers 270 square miles of of hilly open moorland.
Driving round the National park, made us realise we live in one of the most beautiful parts of the UK, my experience of English countryside was completely blown away. This is real countryside, with real people living an English farming life.

I was in awe.

As it was a race to get to the chocolate shop before the ridiculously early closing time, I only had time to take a few snaps. I will definitely be going back for more.









Of course, the chocolate shop is worth a mention...

Nutcombe Chocolate shop


My favourite was the chocolate sewing set... too good to eat!

Milverton Street Fair

Milverton is a beautiful village near my home in Somerset.
Mainly inhabited by artists of all types, it seems to hold an element of eccentricity.

Every Mayday, Milverton hosts it's own street fair....

Cheap as chips.

Bovingdon Market is one of my favourite spots.

Slap bang in the middle of an old airfield in Hertfordshire, the market is a haven for counterfeit clothes, stolen shoes and broken goods.

I love the chavy charm Bovingdon market holds, I particularly love the food menus on bins...
A real touch of class!




A week after these photographs were taken, a joint operation between Hertfordshire Trading Standards and Hertfordshire Constabulary at Bovingdon Market led to what is believed to be the biggest ever seizure of counterfeit goods in the county.
