AFTERNOON TEA AT THE LANE, DEAL UK
I had a lovely afternoon out with Kara on Saturday in Deal which is about half an hour from Folkestone. I had never had food at The Lane before but have heard so many great things about this cute bar. The cocktails are grand with the bar staff all being trained really well in the making of them so it’s a lot quicker to get your drink than a lot of places. The choice is also very good with some different twists on some cocktails. The hardest thing is trying to decide which one to have, I decided on the…

CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON TEA Step through the door into the Christmas space that is Anna’s, plenty of yuletide spirit here plus a delicious afternoon tea. Comprising everything that invites that Christmas feeling. All homemade with love and care then presented on a beautiful tree shape stand.

Kelly also does private events where she does all the catering and…

View PostHELLO OCTOBER
Shorter days, falling leaves and pumpkins for Halloween. Autumn is here so we say goodbye to sunny days at the beach, not that we have had many of them this year. What does October mean for you? All I can think of is heating on, cold, wet and windy days just like it is today but then the nice things are getting cosy on the sofa with your favourite soft throw, lighting the candles and having a mug of drinking chocolate with a dash of Baileys of course and then a good film or series. I have some good books…

HYTHE FESTIVAL I popped over to Hythe yesterday which is only about five minutes from Folkestone in the car, traffic was minimal and parking was ok. On the green, in the middle of the one-way system they were holding the festival and my writing group Write By The Sea had a few tables where members were selling their books plus we had use of the marquee for some readings. It was great to see some of the stories from our two anthologies coming to life on the stage. The festival was buzzing with many people meandering around the stalls,…

I do love the way so many establishments are reinventing themselves in this pandemic just to keep themselves afloat. I try to promote businesses in Folkestone so we can share the word about the new places opening up. The Chambers are going one step better, not only trying new things themselves but also helping out the smaller businesses in getting known in the town. The lovely Liz has been knocking up some good tasty jams and preservatives, looking forward to trying some of these, I will have to send my daughter with a list. lol Rosie has a good eye…
View PostBLUE TEA BOX REVIEW
I was lucky enough to win this box of tea on social media so felt it was only fair to give them a review plus some promotion. You may remember I reviewed their coffee box last year so I was so pleased to give the tea a go. I probably drink more tea now as I am not allowed caffeine and it seems pointless to me to have de-caff coffee. The de-caff tea does not taste any different as my daughter found out last year when I took some round to hers to leave there for myself, when I…
