Photos from Thirlmere
The day started overcast, but Alex and I headed out anyway to see what photos could be found. We headed towards Keswick and stopped off by Thirlmere and got some pictures in between the showers. However the showers got heavier and the wind stronger so we headed home…
… after a stop off at Bryson’s Tea Room in Keswick for tea and plum bread toast.

Coffee at Northern Tea Merchants @TeaMerchant with @alexkingsley
I went across to Chesterfield today to see Alex and he took me to the Northern Tea Merchants for coffee and a cake. What an experience.
The first thing you have to do is choose your beans, then they freshly ground your choice before making the coffee just for you. Whilst they make you drink, you take a seat in their “interesting shop” and then your food and drink is brought to your table. No hanging around in that pack of customers waiting for your coffee to be given to you like you get in the chains!
Alex and I chose the same beans and had a cafetière for two (6 cups), a choice of cream or milk, two cakes and change from £7.
This is the coffee we chose:
And I bought some to take home.
I have driven past this shop many time when going to and from the Peak District and did not know it was there – but next time I am passing I am going to stop and get a coffee.
They sell tea as well.

Mevagissey and a cream tea
It was another nice day – no fog and a good sunrise.
After stopping off in St Austell for bacon butties and tea we went into Mevagissey.
On the way back to the campsite we detoured to The Tearoom at Tresillian Garden Centre for a Cornish cream tea (again, we did not miss last year either).
