A sticky American situation... Those of you who have been following me for some time now know that I have a weakness for several interior styles, one of which is the star-studded "New England" style... So yesterday, when I made some American pancakes as a special treat for the boys ... ... the craft-starved yours truly just had to play a little making instant mini-bunting ("instant" here reads "glue" rather than sewing machine) and flags to top off... ... the pile of pancakes covered in drippy, sticky, gorgeous American syrup... And all this just because a few weeks ago I happened to stumble upon ... ... a local gem... A fabulous little vintage café in our neighbour village Box... Toast Coffee House is owned by lovely Lucy and Simon Wright, and not only do they always make you feel very welcome... ... they have created a fabulous little slice of vintage heaven in their former garage (!), offering coffees, cakes and lighter bites, which you can enjoy at one of the old wooden tables, whilst you listen to the shelves whispering tempting tunes of pretty tins and yummy foods... (Love the coasters Lucy has made from old grain (?) sacks! - Not for sale.-) *** Again, I bow humbly at your incredibly kind words on my last blog post. I am very frustrated I have not got the time to visit you all and tell you in person how happy and "lifted" I feel when I read your amazing comments, but thank you, THANK YOU! Every comment is like being given a hug and an approving pat on the back, and I soar. I think I might just have the loveliest readers in the blog universe! Helena
