Fresh from the oven today.. Date Slice, Victoria Sponge and  Apple and Cinnamon Scones made with apples that have about 100 yards of food miles on them and have been picked so recently that they were still covered in dew!  They are the ones that make the best scones, hence I only make them in the autumn! The sponge is filled with yesterdays plum, apple and damson jam.

It’s a lovely day for a walk so why not walk over the Rigg or amble along the lower paths in the valley and call in for tea?   We look forward to seeing you!

Plum, apple and damson this time.

Why not come for a walk, have a cuppa and support Eden Valley Hospice by buying some jam?

It’ll be baking day tomorrow.  I think I’ll be making Chocolate flapjack, Date Slice and Victoria Sponge.

Any other suggestions?

I’ve made the first batch of the season already.  The plums are rotting before they are ripening properly.. probably because of the rather damp weather we’ve been experiencing! However, not all is lost.  Eden Valley Hospice will benefit from any sales of this product. It’s been tested … and have been assured it’s ok!!!

Enjoying a family breakfast in the camping barn.  Weatherproof camping at it’s best.  Why not come and try it for yourselves?

We are having rather mixed weather at the moment (typical British summer sort of weather) but don’t be put off.  The waterfalls are amazing and when it’s really rather too damp to venture out the local museums are wonderful. You can see the biggest pencil in the world in Keswick!
