Local author and Friend of Fairlynch Sarah Bussy will be in conversation with Brook Gallery owner Angela Yarwood on Friday 17th September at noon in the Church on the Green, as part of Budleigh Salterton's Literary Festival Fringe. They will be talking about Sarah's new book, Joyce Dennys and Budleigh Salterton and to coincide with the book's publication Fairlynch will be exhibiting Dennys' charming paintings that often featured the town and its people.
