My youngest wasn’t around for my birthday this year (she was in Florida, lucky thing) so she took me to this new bakery in Water Orton - maybe 10 miles from here. It’s called the Silvertree Bakery and it is a little oasis in the middle of an industrial estate. It serves coffee, enormous cakes and a wide variety of breads, and has no inside seating. There were only two other couples there when we arrived at about 9.30am, but it was absolutely packed when we left an hour later. We will be back!
Love it, deffo a place to revisit, so unusual!, fav
The heather is not early, it starts to flower in August on the moors and is gone by about mid September. It used to be a September flowering when I was a child but it’s just got earlier and earlier over the past 70 odd years. The early bell heather starts to flower in June and in places still flowering by the time the true heather flowers. Some years are poor so it depends on the year some years it’s very sparse. So that might be why you didn’t see any.
