Birthday Treat

Well, I've finally used my birthday present from my mum. Yes, I know my birthday is in January, and it's now November, but somehow I just hadn't got round to booking anything. I had an Afternoon Tea Gift Experience to use at one of the venues on a list. 

I went to a lovely little tea shop with DD on Tuesday and had some fabulous food. This was my second attempt at going for afternoon tea with the voucher, the first attempt being a complete disaster.  I booked somewhere quite local a couple of weeks ago, to go with DH. We arrived a little bit early, sat down at the table, and were then told that they weren't able to serve any more afternoon teas as they'd run out. Their booking system hadn't allowed me to speak to anyone to explain what I wanted to book, and their online booking system hadn't given me an option either. Considering it was 2.10pm on a Sunday afternoon, we were quite shocked to learn that they'd run out of food! As you can imagine we were more than a bit annoyed and left within about 5 minutes. I have since complained to them (no reply received) and also informed the Gift Experience company, who have offered me a discount on another voucher. 

So, Tuesday I was keeping my fingers crossed that it would be OK. And what a fabulous little place! A bit out of the way but they couldn't have been nicer. We were a bit early, but that didn't matter. Out came the food .....

.....with unlimited cups of tea. Delicious! We couldn't eat it all between us, so we brought some home....

(Yes, that box contains a slab of red velvet cake which we have just consumed tonight). If you want to go somewhere with amazing cupcakes and a fabulous afternoon tea, go to
