That piece of cake went down a treat; raspberry and white chocolate. We were at the Barley Wood Walled Garden just outside of Winscombe for our regular Saturday morning coffee. I had to post some scripts to Sir David Attenborough so popped into the village post office there and caused quite a stir when the lady behind the counter read the address. Leaving with a bit of a queue forming behind me, a restorative caffeine intake was necessary. Just up the hill, Ethicurean have created this haven of tranquillity, and organic produce. I have been coming here for years, when it was still owned by Quart Vert in Bristol, and it remains a favourite. I'd spied a copy of Country Life in the newsagents prior to arriving, therefore to be sitting in warm July sunshine, drinking a well made cup of tea, some cake to pass the lips and a most interesting article on Lindisfarne Castle in Northumberland to stimulate the little grey cells, seemed as good a way to pass a few hours on a Saturday morning as any. The memsahib offered most supportive praise for her sticky toffee apple cake too, just peaking stage right in the photograph. A treat indeed.
