Ye Olde Yew Tree Route, Cake, Chocolate, Ice Cream... and poor signage...

After a week and half of illness (boooo!) Thursday 30th March found myself and Bob on Ye Olde Yew Tree Route - One of our oldest routes we used to regularly take plus I had noted a new Chocolate shop recently opened there...

At 9 am it was raining so we delayed the start time a little, I met up with Bob at 10.45, the rain had stopped and the sky was dull... it was hard to have faith in the forcast being sunshine and 17 deg a few hours later...

Turned out the forcast was right! In the 2 hours that followed it gradually got brighter and warmer yippee!

At the Cafe I had an eccles cake and Bob had Coffee cake, it turned out to be one of the best eccles cakes I have ever had! A full 10/10!!

After the cafe we decided to have a look inside the new chocolate shop (Henley Choclates - www.henleychocolates.co.uk) that had recently opened there, plenty of choice of chocolate flavours to choose from and well... would have been rude not to do a taste test so we had a mini bar of choc each. Upon leaving the Shop we had a discussion on how poorly designed the shop front/signage was, (tiny unnoticeable signs!) we had rode past it going to the cafe and Bob hadn't spotted it, I only clocked it because I was carefully looking... but anyway... I had Raspberry Lemonade and Bob had Stem Ginger - I fear we shall be frequenting there quite a lot in future,,, yummy! :o)

At the weather turned out so nice (Bryton displayed 19 deg C at one point) we stopped for ice cream  at Earlswood on the way back, 2 raspberry ripples please!
