For Eric, a most go, port of call while we're in Dawlish Warren has got to be Naughty But Nice, the sweet emporium.
After a year, it's still remains the same, despite changing hands to another very nice gentleman ........
......... except that it now shuts at five o'clock, so no dashing out for the odd 100g of sprogs or pint pots should a whim or fancy come over us. Our evenings confectionary has to be planned in advance, as does our "posh", local, breakfast marmalades and jams!
It has to be said that buying your confectionary exclusively from the jar and then bringing it home in an crisp paper bag is just too romantic and nostalgic for words, grabbing a bag of Revels or jelly Snakes from the shelf in Tesco or even our beloved Home Bargains, just isn't the same! What are we like?

This brings back childhood memories. Better for the environment, too.
Bring back the Ye Olde Sweetie Shop I say Andy.....wonder if he ever reads Monkey Blogs ???? You never know. JantheFan X
Ooh I agree about sweetie shops! We are very lucky to have a the Sweet Emporium in St Anne’s, it’s a bit too near for my waistline though! Hubby John has taken to having a mixed bag of rhubarb and custard chews mixed with white chocolate mice. I look longingly at the licorice torpedoes but can’t afford another cracked tooth so they are ordering me a big tub of school chalk” (soft mint licorice) I will now have to buy a bag every time I walk past!
