Open for Business

Safely back from India having washed elephants etc. and ready for work. We are now going to be open every day except Tuesday from 10 til 5 right through to the New Year. Come and have lunch in the week for a special, reasonably priced treat! More work going on in the garden this year to improve the already superb views! Come and see us soon, John & Jacky.

So...sign up?

And, of course, anyone who would like to be included on our email newsletter just email me your email!

email newsletter

We shall be away for a short while but on my return I will be starting to do an email newsletter. I have done a test email to some friends and it seems to be working ok. I will put in a link to our website and also to the blog and twitter. Hopefully then Jacky's special dishes and all our special offers along with any stop press items to do with opening hours etc. will be more available to all our customers. I will be in touch with you all soon!

There are some fairly horrible things going on in the world at the moment, and once again children seem to be caught up in it. Everything's future depends on our subsequent generations so surely: children = nurture. Not children = violence, destruction and abuse.
Looking out across Robin Hood and the surrounding countryside on this beautiful morning I am reminded, once again, how lucky I am.

CRUMBS!

CRUMBS!!
                    If you'll pardon the pun, it's ages since I blogged. We've been to Skiathos again since the last blog. Oh well back to the grindstone and nose firmly placed upon it. Nothing much has changed here except you will notice that the quality of our home baked bread has improved. This is because I am doing ALL scone and bread baking now, moving on soon to sultana and fruit cakes, tea cakes etc. Jacky is loathed to admit that my bread is better and says it is because she taught me how to do it!!! Ha ha!! Come and see us soon to sample all the Tea Rooms fayre. J.

So it is now 1 week since we returned from the beautiful island of Skiathos and we have already booked our next holiday.....to the beautiful island of Skiathos. We shall be back there in September and I will post dates later. We have above some boring holiday snaps 1. Jacky with Leica 2. John with Leica 3. The view from my sunbed, all taken on Achladies beach where Leica lives. Now, in order for us to pay for our return trip we are now in the serious business of selling teas, coffees and soups and cakes!!
The Union Jack is flying today to mark the Diamond Jubilee of 60 years of our Cool Queen being on the throne. She is fantastic and we are all so lucky to be around to see Her celebrations. On this very (slightly damp) British Day come and have a great British cuppa and cake.
