Home For Tea And Cake



There is nothing more comforting than spending an afternoon curled up on a comfy sofa, drinking hot, steaming cups of tea and eatting homemade cake. Its a simple pleassure. The sweet smell of the cake and the hot familiar taste of the tea are quite simply the perfect combination.


Its an opinion we all share in my family. When holidaying in this country as a child we often abandoned an afternoon visiting the local tourist attraction in favour of spending it sitting in the garden of our holiday cottage drinking tea out of unfamiliar cups and eatting one of Mum's homemade cakes which she has carefully transported the 100+ miles. This tradition and ritual continues today and brings me a great sense of ease and well-being.


It therefore seemed natural to name my blog, which I wish to capture the essence of home, family and the simple pleassures of life 'Home For Tea And Cake'. So pull up a chair, grab yourself a hot mug of tea and cut yourself a large slice of cake and enjoy!
