title Lunch in South Molton and Sean's "Stag Night", King's Nympton, Devon - 2nd May 2026 intro 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. imgp7796 The Pannier market in South Molton imgp7797 Fred, Isobel and Harry in the Pannier Market imgp7799 Quilt and yarn supplies imgp7800 Impressive fruit and vegetables imgp7802 Peamore's fruit and vegetable stall imgp7803 There's a major scaffolding job in the market imgp7805 Inside South Molton's pannier market imgp7809 Fred lurks as we sit outside imgp7813 Harry gets a milkshake from the caravan imgp7816 Boxing hares on the fence imgp7817 Fred constructs some sort of snack item imgp7818 The view from the apartment's front door imgp7819 Fred and a salami and sourdough sandwich imgp7823 Home-made bunting in King's Nympton parish hall imgp7824 Sean sets up his retro disco lights imgp7826 Some sort of instruction is given imgp7827 King's Nympton's Methodist chapel imgp7828 Ancient sheds on the main road imgp7829 The awesome Grove Inn imgp7838 It's just like an Amish barn raising imgp7839 The marquee goes up in the rain imgp7846 Fred helps to move straw bales into the marquee imgp7850 The wedding arch is brought in imgp7851 A flower arranger gives the hairy eyeball imgp7854 The flower-arranging massive in action imgp7856 Hamish fiddles with a guy string imgp7857 The pub's Uber wheelbarrow imgp7858 There's a cone on a covered car at Mole Cottage imgp7861 Harry gets some of the Chulmleigh Indian takeaway imgp7863 We head into the Grove Inn imgp7865 The bar of the Grove Inn imgp7867 Isobel chats to Jane imgp7869 Sean rocks up for his "stag night" imgp7873 Sean really is the stag tonight imgp7876 Sean gets an arse-whipping from Phil's riding crop imgp7878 An antler and an empty Plymouth Sloe Gin bottle imgp7880 Sean's car is parked half into the main street imgp7881 Sean wanders off with two guitars
