Hello all You've been busy today!! We've done a 10 mile walk along the Tarka Trail - beautiful. Next clue: Ronnie Barker had an antique shop in this place after his retirement from tv. Angela |

While we are thinking about Angela's how about this one Alison Moyet grew up in this Essex town, which sounds like it gave its name to a famous brand of writing paper Dee x |

Awdrey Chipping Norton is correct. We visited once, was more of an old curiosity shop than 'antiques'. Ronnie wasn't about, but we bought an autographed book for our son. Angela |
