The final "Sorrel Birthday" treat was a trip to the Elizabethan Bodysgallen Hall for afternoon tea.We had the works! whatever type of tea you wanted-----( I had not got a clue) sandwiches cut into slices (without the crusts), freshly baked scones and a shop front of pastries and cakes!
Everything tasted better given the lovely historical surroundings, the peace and quiet and the classy decor.
You felt as though you wanted to curl up in front of the fire in the huge grate with a good book and read the rainy day away

Sorrel goes home tomorrow. I was going to get on planting out cauliflower, onions and shallots but there is some talk of snow being on the cards again, so I may have to postpone the work.I am slightly jaded, just two hours sleep this morning

ReplyDeleteHow lovely! We have nothing so elegant here, although there is a nice tea shop (full high tea!) in the village nearby! I don't think they'd let fuzzy goats in though....I like cream buns!
ReplyDeleteVery swish!

ReplyDeletethat place looks devine.
ReplyDeleteI had a gardening question for you. Do you grow your own cauliflower from seed, or buy the plants?
