tea & cake
Julianna Grove has received some interesting feedback from the newsletter that we sent out last week; some people were concerned about the amount of times we mentioned tea and cake. Now it’s been a long, cold and dark winter here in Scotland and our philosophy is – ‘what ever gets you through’ and this year tea and cake seemed to be what did it for us. Looking back on the winter we’ve realised that the months can be sub-divided into cake categories – there was ginger cake week, a splendid battenberg week and a delicious homemade chocolate cake couple of days (it tasted too good to last any longer). We’ve also got a very fond memory of a joint birthday celebration when we went to the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh for afternoon tea. Cake stands, china tea sets, a harpist, art deco surroundings and the most delicious cakes, scones and sandwiches (with no crusts on) – scrumptious and worth every penny.
We appreciate your concern but we believe it’s merely a passion not an obsession. Now I’m off to put the kettle on for a cuppa, fair-trade of course, and maybe a cherry bakewell….
