Chairs for governors

Just back from a very lovely social event with our governors and supporting staff at a new Cambridge cafe called Afternoon Tease. The owner is the niece of our magnificent 'Clerk to Governors' - they are a family that gets things done! I think it may be the best turn out we've ever had for a 'meeting ' - there was the promise of chocolate Guinness cake. The cafe is on King Street should anybody local be interested.
Not so good was faffing about trying to find working bike lights followed by getting trapped by my neighbour who wanted me to meet his house-sitter so that I ended up arriving in town just as the baby shop closed - I think this purchase is jinxed!
Three GT:
1. The reflective cycling jackets kindly donated en masse to the school.
2. Mincemeat Bakewell tarts.
3. Kate for organising our outing - we would actually fall apart without her.
Great name for the shop, most are called coffee shops nowdays! Good composition! What do you need a baby shop for??

@fueast - how you doing Alison?!

@fueast Yes that's it - serves me right for being lazy - if I'd had notice instead of finding out by chance there weeks after the event...

@judithg the youth of today... A graduation scarf perhaps? @jackie8 yes I'm fine thanks Jackie. Just drowning in marking and no photos to offer. I just pop in occasionally to leave sarcy messages on Judith's posts. It's a Preston thing.

@lucypics Usually longingly from the outside! My dream is to set up a dog-friendly one in Newnham - not sure what the law is on dogs in cafes!!

I'll try and remember it - it looks inviting. I like the sound of the chocolate Guinness cake.

I saw a place recently in the paper that sold cakes for dogs....a proper shop!! You & Monty could run one!!!
Afternoon Tease....I like it & the sound of the cakes even more! Not sure about chocolate Guinness cake though!!

What a great name for a tea shop although the chairs look like the kind where they don't want you to linger too long. We never did such things when I was a Governor :)

It does look cosy but I covet a softer, plumper sort of chair these days.
