Wet Wednesday! 500th POST! and a Giveaway!

Well I didn't think I would ever get to 500 posts!

It had its moments when I nearly gave up!


Today is a typical wet Wednesday! So what do you do?

You meet good friends and go for a cream tea!

We live five minutes from Selworthy and Periwinkle Tea Rooms.





As this is my 500th post I thought I would have a giveaway.

I'll keep it open until Caitlin's first birthday on 10th August,

so you have nearly three weeks to think of your favourite

sandwiches and cake you would like to have with your afternoon tea.

  5. Oooh Congratulations! I am sorry if I have missed any of your posts, but We had to have our lovely Archie put to sleep last week, and I have been feeling awful in every way. For a sandwich, I would like a goats cheese and mixed lettuce with olives (strange maybe!) and the cake would be a walnut coffe cake, made to the recipe (which is lost!) of my Grandmother, who made THE most wonderful strong and fat coffee cake you have ever tasted! Love to you Suie xxxxxxx

  10. I wish I lived right near to tea rooms!!
    The planners turned down an application for tea rooms in my village BUT allowed a damn great wind turbine,which has been driving us mad!
    Yesterday we looked out and it is on its side...the best place for it to be as far as I am concerned!!
    Congratulations BTW!
    Salmon and cucumber for me! Carrot cake to follow!
    ;-)

  11. Isn't it great when you reach a milestone like this and you realise how much you have achieved xx

    I would love a cucumber sandwich on soft white bread, but unfortunately due to my dietary difficulties that is a thing of the past (wheat-free bread just isn't soft and nice enough for cucumber sandwiches)... so I would settle for cream cheese :) As for the cake - a lovely mosit carrot cake made with sultanas to add to the juiciness of the whole thing :)

  14. Congrats on 500 posts! I don't know what I would like as I don't do afternoon tea but I'm always hungry during tea time and I usually have fruit. I'm very curious to try a cream tea. I want to come to the UK next year and I will do that!! Thanks

    So, if it's not too much trouble I'd love a cuppa Earl Grey and a scone
    or ? two?
