And, we are just back from the a delightful and supreme afternoon tea at Queen of Tarts. The parlour is a real joy, sun streaming through the windows, tables beautifully and carefully set with a wonderful collection of crokery and cutlery. A friendly, familial welcome and a simply exceptional afternoon tea. Go there soon.
