There is nothing better than a nice cup of coffee, and there is possibly no better coffee shop than that attached to the Black Swan Hotel in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. Today we were driving the 330 miles north to my parents for my mothers 80th birthday on Monday. But as is becoming a tradition now, we took a bit of a detour at Thirsk, up Sutton Bank and spent an hour or so enjoying coffee, and a banana bread slice, in the coffee shop. There is nothing better than having coffee properly made and served in heavyweight silver coffee pots, cream warmed to the correct temperature and then consumed in the best china. Almost worth the drive up there just for the coffee, but that may be a bit indulgent....
