......it's been mainly down to my computer breaking, but once you stop writting, it's easy to keep on not writing!
Autumn is here. The leaves have started to turn colour, but only two or three weeks ago most of them were still green.
In Snowdonia National Park, Autumn has firmly taken hold......except in a few places. So, we drove into the blue-green of what was left of our summer, which was hiding in the eastern part of the park.
We went to a small market town, which has an old, narrow bridge that is only wide enough to allow one line of vehicles to pass in one direction at a time.
People can walk over this bridge and the view is lovely, as you can see.
We sat by the fireplace, and ordered what we thought was enough for two people. However, when the waitress came over carrying a large tray with a lot of food on it, it was clear we'd ordered too much. So much, in fact, that people were turning around to stare at our stable! There were only two of us, but our teatime treat was enough to feed four! This is similar to what teatime used to be like at my grandmother's house. She wanted to fatten everyone up!
Most of it was served on traditional Blue Willow china, which was nice.
When we saw Bara Brith as part of our menu, we assumed this meant we would get a slice or two of Bara Brith each.....but no! A whole plate full!
The scones were very nice as well....yumm.....
and the cake..........
........although we were so full we had to take most of the cake and some of the Bara Brith home with us with us in some paper provided by the tearooms. It would have been a shame to waste it, don't you think?
Despite it being quite touristy, and the head waitress who seemed annoyed by everyone who was coming in, we still enjoyed our afternoon tea in this place.
