Tea and Cake


I was in bed for most of the day yesterday. We’d had an incredibly hard and busy shift Saturday night and so I slept heavily and long, despite being woken by the dogs baying at someone at the door in the afternoon. My visitor was Nick from the TCA who dropped off some of the Coronation cake made by bouncy Bridget . I missed his knock but soon spied a parcel of cake wrapped in silver paper plonked on top of my wall basket.
It was bloody lovely too with a hot cup of tea.
But I was soon snoring away the rest of the afternoon so missed any post-mortem from the Coronation afternoon tea which looked impressive on line and which probably  tasted even better in the flesh



The Eurovision night next Saturday will be a much bawdier affair me thinks.
Me hopes so.
So, Trelawnyd life plods along at its own pace. King Charles has his crown and I suspect he shouts and  laughs with Camilla loudly and long.
Eurovision is the next altar to pray at. Then it’s summer

  2. A very tempting choice of cakes there! Shame you missed it but nice of Nick to drop off a taste.

    I hope the newly crowned King and Queen can relax and enjoy themselves now all the formalities are over. The ceremony itself must have been daunting at his age.

  3. Eurovision is my highlight of the year. Never ceases to entertain and madden, usually in roughly equal measure. This year looks especially promising. So, bottoms up!

  6. A shame you missed the tea party, but at least you got a taste of it. Maybe it's for the best you didn't go. All that yummy food would have scuppered the diet! xx

    1. Historically the village has produced excellent bakers, I should know running the flower show for so long…the cake table always had the most exhibitors
      The largest number of cakes in one show was 78

  16. Your village Coronation party looks festive and all the special cakes look outstanding. Nick is a very thoughtful guy and I'm glad you enjoyed the cake. The pubs must be alive with celebrations too. You might well catch one of these parties.
