I am blessed with a rather lovely workshop inthe heart of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is the South Hams coastline in Devon, in the South West of England.

The area is well-served with good local pubs serving food, stunning beaches, and a couple of very pretty villages nearby.

Holbeton is to the east of the workshop, and has a wonderful village post office and shop which serves good local produce, and all the basics. If you give Jack a call in advance may be able to whip up a sandwich for lunch for you.

To the west are Newton Ferrers, and Noss Mayo - two adjacent picturesque villages either side of the Yealm Estuary. Newton has a good selection of shops, including a deli and a lovely cafe, The Green

If you are coming from the Plymouth direction and need to buy lunch Ben’s Farmshop offers all things organic, including local veg, pies, salads, good chocolate - all the essentials. https://bensfarmshop.co.uk

Further to the east is Modbury, a thriving town which boasts being the first town in the UK to go plastic bag-free.

Local pubs include the Mildmay Colours in Holbeton https://www.mildmaycolours.co.uk , or the Ship https://www.theshipinn-nossmayo.co.uk and the Dolphin Inn in Newton Ferrers.https://dolphininn.weebly.com

There is a great ice-cream place very close to the workshop - the award-winning Surfing Cow, who make all their ice-creams on site from their herd of Jersey-Cross cows
