On a visit to see her, and after the day where we accidentally climbed an Alp ('20 more minutes...."), we enjoyed a blissful day at the Caillier chocolate factory

I love this time of year for the number of Bank Holidays that crop up. This week is Easter, and this means a lovely long weekend. I have started a book that deserves to be savoured and enjoyed,

And Saturday saw a very early children's birthday party and a catch up with Team Yorkshire at my lovely in-laws.

Like many people at the moment I have been enjoying the latest series of Death in Paradise, the gentle crime drama of seemingly impossible murders taking place on the beautiful island of Saint Marie

The White Rose Book Cafe in Thirsk is currently celebrating it's 30 years anniversary. Spread over 2 floors and with a cafe selling tasty cakes and treats, the events programme is to be envied.

We had a busy weekend, but had a very relaxing Sunday complete with a roast chicken dinner and lots of curling up on the couch together with Hattie.

Twice a year I like to list out my To Be Read Pile on the blog. I would like to say it keeps me accountable, but who am I kidding. I do love to have a small selection of books to choose from when selecting my next reads.

It's been a rather exciting week here at Coffee, Books and Cake towers as I attended an author event at the wonderful White Rose Books in Thirsk.

Good morning friends. This is my return to the blog in quite some time, my last post being the end of January. It has been the longest time off and honestly was due to a 'case of the blahs'.
