At the Bay Tree

We had our customary coffee and cinnamon scones at the Bay Tree in Holywood, County Down, this morning. It wasn't too busy and we managed to find a table easily. The Bay Tree still seems to be evergreen and thriving, their latest accolade being an entry in the Bridgestone Guide.

I parked the baby two-seater at the compact car-park to the rear of the Bay Tree and they opened the French window for the Dowager, which was good.


Oh, for simple pleasures! I received a post-card this morning, with a first-class stamp thereon, and it wasn't franked. I tore it off, soaked it in a saucer of water and then the stamp peeled off effortlessly, good as new.
