Catch Up

It's been quite a surprise to be having hot weather in July & August... Something we haven't experienced since 1976! Great if you're on holiday - not so good if you're spending most of your time indoors cleaning other people's houses...

It costs £5 just to park the car - we didn't stay! Instead we stopped at  The Apple Tree Cafe . A place we could see ourselves running... Where we discovered we'd been before many years ago! When it had different owners... They obviously share our taste in colour... So lovely... And the food was outstanding... Courgette & Mint Burgers with all the trimmings. The tastiest meal we've had in a long time... The carrot cake was delicious too... As was the chocolate & walnut brownie... It was so good - we had to write an essay in their visitor's book! Once we managed to tear o
