I am meeting Tracy in York tomorrow afternoon.
Like Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard we have arranged to meet outside Betty’s Tearooms at 5 pm, and I’ve arranged for us to have high tea in the Belmont Room .
Betty’s was first opened in 1937 and is a must for anyone visiting the city.
When I lived in York, Betty’s was a go to for the occasional treat away from hard psychiatric nurse shifts
Locals never braved the queues at peak times only turning up early in the day to snatch a table for one
I was 24, and even then I fell in love with its art deco lines and waitresses with frilly hats
I’m on the way to being 64 and I’m meeting Tracy after a break of thirty six years
How lovely
How wonderful! There will undoubtedly be many hugs and lots of laughter to catch up on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous place to meet, too, iconic all round.
