Nonagenarian Birthday Feast.


    So, it's howling down with rain on a Thursday in April, and you want to spend a special day with your mates. For his 90th birthday all Digger wanted to do was go for a walk, stop off for a "brief" pub lunch and then top it off with a Cream Tea with us. Once again, somebody very special makes us feel so honoured that they wish to come to our Tea Rooms. Happy Birthday from John & Jacky.

Welcome to our Dutch Guests.











       Part of the warm welcome we give to our guests from overseas is to have their National Flag flying on their arrival. This weekend we have two gentlemen from Holland one of whom (wait for it) lives in a windmill. So my essential purchase for the week was a flag for them. I now have lots of flags (once again much to Jackys annoyance) and am looking to increase my range. So: Overseas Visitors welcome!



                                                                                      

 Today is the Birthday of Her Majesty Queen  Elizabeth II, so I have apologised to our Dutch friends and      run up the Union Flag, just for today.

We're not JUST open at weekends! Business Lunch?

Don't forget that our Tea Rooms at Robin Hood are open Wednesday and Thursday as well as the weekends. All Jackys usual treats are avaiable mid-week as well as some new specials. Today one of my (many) favourites: Jacket Spuds! Looks like the weather for it as well, but don't let that put you off; the fire in the dining room is lit so all is warm and cosy. Usual popular fillings available with the Spuds so all a very healthy part of your 5 a day (plus loads of butter and salt if req'd!) Supplemented with a large pot of tea and perhaps rounded off with a cake? What better way to spend lunchtime, whether on a work break or social trip. Come and see us soon!

Strange things are hapnin'.....to me (and the weather).


After the beautiful weather we had in March with t-shirts and sun stroke whilst pressure washing the patios, we have had a brief return to Winter as you can see from the snowy gentleman lurking behind the daffodils. Our thanks to the 2 young men staying at End Cottage last week for leaving frosty with us for a while. And now it's Easter weekend, End Cottage full again with many more enquiries than Easters available! Also a pleasure to welcome back returning guests to the B&B. Also a pleasure to have had grandson during the week and now 3 x granddaughters this weekend!!
