You can now book your very own Secluded Tea Party designed to suit any budget or idea…  Have you been reading my blog posts and salivating over the tasty afternoon treats that I have been boasting about and sharing around the Cambridgeshire Countryside?  Or perhaps you have been trying to come along to one of my planned events and just haven’t been able to find the time to attend, however desperate you have been to

After a few recent requests for these dusty yet fashionable players of music… well, I have found a brand new fascination and love to pour my hours of wasted Google and Pinterest time into… The Gramophone. And whilst researching these most beautiful musical boxes, I have been enjoying the very intriguing and extremely smile-inducing playlist provided by The Shellac Sisters, a group of four glamourous retro girlies w

Did you seen the Strawberries and Cream Sandwich that our nations favourite supermarket had made as an intriguing partner for this summers’ Wimbledon? It was a a clever little marketing tool in my eyes, and sold at only a £1 for this confusing little package. I, of course headed round the corner to pick up one to try… Much to my Twitter and Facebook Friends’ (And possibly even my own!) disgust hehe… I l

Down here at The Secluded Tea Party HQ, I love to hear feedback… The good, the bad and the ugly, although it’s always fantastically glowing reports that I receive – naturally!

And when asked if I would write up a guest

Back in May, I entered myself into a competition called “Sugar Slam 2011 – Whisks Of Fury” which had immediately caught my attention through Twitter as a baking competition with my kind of twist to proceedings. It is a wrestling themed online bake off, hosted by Bake And Destroy, with guest judges such as the legendary Mike Edison, Ben Roche and the inspiring Beth Phoenix… If you are into your wrestling

Ok, So technically Ice Cream isn’t Afternoon Tea fodder, however, it is when you incorporate dessert into this cold treat….Twice recently I have found myself wandering around Cambridge on a really hot and sunny day, which is a rarity to be doing that once on a day off, let alone twice in a row lately – What a treat! And so, naturally, taking a trip down Kings Parade to soak up the sun and the beautiful archit

 After a chat and a lovely Saturday afternoon last weekend, spent with Bakelady from The Secret Tea Room in Leeds, she suggested that a great idea to keep everybody  updated with what I am up to each month is to do exactly that hehe….  So thanks to this advice, here it goes…  Should you be at all interested in what I am planning to get up to this month….
