Satdee Cake 9th May 2009

Homemade Victoria sponge and a mug of tea in the quaint gardens of the Shrubbery on Tanketon Slopes. A true slice of Britishness, a garden and tea served by 2 ladies from a little caravan at the back, with views of the sea and on a clear day Southend, and a choice of homemade cakes. The trays have all been painted with varying shades of green emulsion, look at it, fabulous.
