IT was a case of from Tenby, Pembrokeshire, to the Tenby Store, Australia, recently, for Observer staff member Ceris Hewlings.

Ceris is seen outside the shop in Queenscliffe, Victoria, with her mum Winifred. Ceris's boyfriend, John Roberts, was behind the camera!

After visiting Tenby Point, also situated in Victoria, during a previous visit to Australia, the trio were keen to check out the Tenby Store during last month's trip to family in Melbourne.

A chat to the lady owner of the Tenby Store, formerly a café, but now a gift shop, revealed that she had actually visited Tenby only last year. She was also the proud owner of a Tenby shopping bag - thanks to a local hotelier who had visited the shop earlier this year!
