The Pannier market in South Molton
Lunch in South Molton and Sean's "Stag Night", King's Nympton, Devon - 2nd May 2026
We make it to King's Nympton in north Devon in reasonably good time, but it's still 11:30pm so it's more or less straight to bed. The next day, we first meet up with Sis at the Pannier Market in South Molton and find pasties and some nice croissants. Then, back at the rented apartment, the boys knock up a top-up snack, after which Nosher and Fred head off down to the parish hall where there's a load of wedding preparations under way. In true Devon style it's lashing it, and Sean's waiting for a marquee to arrive which it duly does, and so we hang around whilst Fred helps to put it up and we both help with hauling straw bales in. That evening, the pub's booked out for food so Sis brings over an Indian take-away from nearby Chulmleigh, after which we finally do visit the pub for a few beers. Sean even manages to get out for a couple too, and even manages to feature in a couple of "stag night" photos.
