Morrisons supermarket

A small hurrah for Morrisons in these austere times!  I got a chunk of Battenberg and a big cup and a half of tea for just £1.54 today.  The surroundings are clean and tidy.  The staff are efficient.  And what's more you can afford to go out for coffee with friends!

Wendy's Coffee Shop, Union Street, Newton Abbot

Another recent(ish) Newton cafe that I visited between Christmas and New Year.

Wendy's is a tiny coffee shop just off the main street, but Union Street looks to be thriving now - plenty of new shops opening.  There were two or three tables, most of the occupied, so I opted unusually to sit on the sofa, where I had a good view of all the comings and goings down the street.  Not that many people were about on a wet, blustery day.  There was an array of individually wrapped cupcakes and cake bars on display, plus a hot food menu, but I opted for just a white coffee.  The coffee tasted good and the service was efficient and friendly.  Also, the customers seemed all to be regulars which is always a good advertisement.  Two ladies were having a heart-to-heart about their families and everybody else's families - Wendy's is too small for that, we all could hear every word.  That said, I'd definitely go again - ideal clean, tidy, cosy place for a quick coffee in the heart of town.
