Last Friday, 8th July 2011 saw a version of The Secluded Tea Party that I am pretty confident was ONE OF A KIND evening and not my usual tea party event… We held a Zombie Tea Party for over 18’s – due to the nature of the cake and the overall entertainment for this fun and gruesome Tea Party, which was held at the fantastically suitable venue in the form of Apocalypse Paintball in Kneesworth. Why a Zombie Tea

As reviewed in my column *Miss Sue Flay Recommends* in the Cambridgeshire Journal Magazine – September 2011.  HOW have I passed so many times before, yet never tried out this lovely coffee shop before? Jocalatte is a lovely independent coffee and chocolate shop on Burleigh Street in Cambridge, and they source all of their truffles and chocolate selections from suppliers around the UK including Scotland, as well as the ho

In the excitement of planning The Secluded ZOMBIE Tea Party, I headed down to my secret woodland location last Friday evening at the same time that this weekends’ creepy festivities will commence and I managed to get a real feel for how it will all look with the sun setting and the darkness creeping up on the *Safe Zone* that we will be preparing to keep you all safe for a few hours… And it looks fantastic.

Our venue for this afternoon event was The Barn, Kneesworth, just a mile from Royston, and not too far out of Cambridge. And being perfectly secluded, away from the main road within the car park of a very nice Indian restaurant and still w

I have been very excited this week to have received a really lovely letter in the mail from the QUEEN of letter writing herself – Claire from Letter Lounge, based in London. This lovely handwritten envelope landed on my doormat with a flutter, rather than the usual thud of a handful of unwanted leaflets and holiday brochures… The pup didn’t even woof at the postman on this particular morning…. I LOVE th

This weekend was the only weekend that I could get away with Mister Flay for a few months, so we decided to head to Suffolk on a Food Tour and try out some destinations whilst camping in a BEAUTIFUL Orchard in the middle of the Countryside.  What we hadn’t expected was that we would get soaked through to the bone on both the Friday night whilst pitching our canvas home… Stressful!… And again whilst walking al
