It's my birthday weekend, yay! We had a picnic in the park...
...where we ate many tasty cakes and enjoyed the sunshine.
So wonderful to spend time with friends. Thank you all!

Cotswolds afternoon tea
in drawings, food, illustration, japan, painting, photography, sketchbooks, travel
We just spent the day in the Cotswolds, and had the loveliest afternoon tea ever at Juri's Tearoom in the country town of Winchcombe. The crockery was a pretty blue... 
...and the view from the conservatory was delightful. But it's the cakes you need to try; honestly, the cheese cake was the best I've ever had, anywhere. So light and fluffy. The sandwiches were beautiful too. Everything is perfect, as it's traditional English, but with a slight hint of the Japanese, as Juri is from there.
I absolutely recommend this place if you're anywhere near...
Vienna cake weekend
I went to Vienna recently, and spent the weekend visiting as many cafes, and eating as many different cakes, as possible. Viennese cakes are irresistable...
We went to Cafe Diglas, Hotel Sacher, Cafe Sperl, Cafe Landtmann, and some other slightly less famous places, which were just as tasty...
My favourite was the Cafe Sperl, which had a beautiful quiet atmosphere, 
but the best cake was definately the Sacher Torte at the Hotel Sacher. The apricot jam was so smooth and light, like a dream. Tis a cake for grown-ups.
