A CROWD of well-wishers visited Saltash shop Tamar Cards to say goodbye to the owner, Kerry Fice, who was retiring after 18 years.

Customers enjoyed the open day with refreshments that were laid on for them.

Kerry, who is 66, said he had enjoyed his time in Saltash and would miss the banter each day.

Previously he has run shops in Plymouth including Wishes at Hyde Park.

The owners of the shop next door, Saltash News, will be taking over Tamar Cards and plan to knock down a wall in-between, making the two shops into one.
