I honestly can’t resist sharing this with you all.  It was only last week I saw my lovely friend, Deepa (also known as lazy Giraffe hehe) had been saying that Cambridge needed a new pop-up restaurant or a tearoom or a new underground foodie location and I then went home, flicked through the latest edition of the Cambridgeshire Journal magazine and saw just the ticket… Not only do we have the fabulous Scrimshaws Sup

After many enquiries asking for smaller, more intimate afternoon tea parties, I am very excited to be announcing a new and very homely afternoon tea venue in Cambridge, or somewhere close to our City… for a Cambridgeshire retreat with a difference.. and free parking too – a real perk in our here region!

My lovely friend, Debbie Wallwork, had asked me to put on an afternoon tea spread

These are not two titles that I would have ever considered putting together in a blog post, however the fabulous and clever team at Bea’s of Bloomsbury have the perfect secret location in the heart of London to show us a film or two… with cake of course! The mister took me down to London for a rare whistle stop tour of our capital city to enjoy a few delights along the way, including a pit stop at Fortnum & Ma

On driving home from a cake decorating course with my lovely friend, Cat of Cakes By Cat in Ely, I strangely tuned into BBC Radio 2 for the VERY first time in my life, only to catch the very amusing Jeremy Vine having a good old moan about the cost of afternoon tea.
