I went to see my very good friends Nic and Owain in Manchester last weekend. We did some chatting, plenty of cake eating, lots of tea drinking and a fair amount of wine drinking.
We also wandered a lot in the lovely spring sunshine. A perfect way to spend a weekend.
These lovely photos were taken at Patisserie Macaron on the north side of Clapham Common on Sunday.
I love their old fashioned light fittings, stained glass, mirrors and mis matched china.
They have all kinds of delicious treats but I was there for the macarons really. It reminded me that I must try harder to get them right!
I went to the yumchaa tea shop on parkway in camden for the first time yesterday. It’s in the old palmer’s pet shop so still has their old shop front (listed I think).
I can’t sing their praises highly enough! It makes me sad that people still go to nero or starbucks when smaller, better places like this are nearby.
I had the most amazing macarons with my delicious tea and the shop itself is gorgeous.
They also have branches on berwick st and in camden lock market. Go visit!
