Have we scone mad? 😂😂

Well, today's deliciously fresh homemade scones were made by Lynne. We think she may have had too much w**e 🍷last night, as at first she got confused as to how to use the scales. 😂 But, with supervision from Elspeth, the fruit and cheese scones turned out to be delicious, as always. 😂👍🏻😋♥️

Saturday proved to be very busy and included our first baby shower, whilst Sunday was much calmer. 🙏♥️

Sadly, we are well and truly into Autumn now. We can't believe we are in the last quarter of the year. It is getting dark so much earlier now.😲

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋☕

Well, it has been quite a week, here at the Rocking Horse courtyard. 😲👍🏻

Although we have been quieter now that autumn has arrived, activities behind the scenes have been on the increase. 💪🏻😂

This weekend, Pawformance agility moves into the new barn, with their attached training field. 🐕‍🦺👍🏻

We have two new ventures just around the corner. 😲 One will be up and running before Christmas and the other, much bigger venture, should be ready by Easter. 🐣 A clue for the smaller venture will be in the photos attached. 😂👍🏻🐕‍🦺

And today, a couple, who have been coming here for over 8 years, chose the Rocky for breakfast 🍳😋, as part of their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Some 50 years together. 👏🏻🙋🥂♥️ They are now looking forward to the next 50 years. 😂🙏

NLand Organic & Local had a pop up stall last weekend, which proved popular, considering the time of year. We have been discussing ideas for making these visits more permanent and this is likely to be the case in the early part of next year. 🤞🏻🥦🍆🥕🌽 It is all part of making the Rocky part of the community and not just Northumberland's favourite dog friendly cafe. 👍🏻🙋🐕‍🦺

Much of our produce for making the best Christmas cakes in Northumberland, arrived today. 👍🏻 Margaret had so many orders last year, that it may be wise to get your order in early, if you would like one. 🧑🏻‍🎄🎂👍🏻

For now, the team here wishes you well. 🙋🥂

It's been quite a week here at the Rocking Horse courtyard. 😲 So what's news at the Rocky? 🤷🏻♥️

At the weekend, we welcomed all those who joined the Great Global Greyhound walk, which was hosted at the Rocky. It was the last big event to be held here this year and once again those attending were fortunate with the weather. 👍🏻🙋🐕‍🦺

Our next pressure is on the bakery, as we are just starting to take orders for our delicious Christmas cakes......truly the best in the County. 🧑🏻‍🎄🎂😋♥️

And now for the big news.....our next big projects are just around the corner. They are likely to really transform this place. Watch this space.......more news shortly. 👍🏻🥂

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂

During the summer season, we welcome more groups of friends and families, but once the schools go back, we meet mostly couples.....and yesterday was no exception. 🙋👍🏻

It turned out to be a rather busy day, which culminated in a rather empty cake table. The state of the cake table is usually a very good guide as to how busy we have been. 😂👍🏻🍰

We have baked extra scones today, in advance of the great global greyhound walk, which starts from here at 1pm. 🐕‍🦺♥️ We have fruit scones, cheese scones and blueberry scones on offer today. 😋👍🏻

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋👍🏻☕

Our new company vehicles have finally arrived 🏍️😂👍🏻.

One of our baristas (you'll never guess who 😂), was the first team member to try out this very limited edition Honda. Or did he just sit on it, as he was too scared to even start the engine. 🤷🏻😂👍🏻🏍️

On a slightly more serious note, the bike actually belongs to a close friend of the Rocky. 🏍️♥️ Andrew rode 128 miles each way, just to have lunch here yesterday. Now, we knew our food was good, but we didn't realise it was that good. 😂👍🏻😋

We have welcomed so many regular customers this week. And now that we are not so busy, it is great to have a good catch up with many of them. 🙏♥️

On Sunday, we are holding our last major event of the year. It is called the Great Global Greyhound Walk and is for all sighthounds. We had nearly 30 dogs last year but the event has been gathering momentum each year. We hope this year will be no different. 🐕‍🦺♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 👍🏻🙋🥂

Coffee ☕, cake 🍰, canvasses 🖼️ and classic cars 🚗. The Rocky is truly the 'Home of Hospitality'. 🙏♥️

Life is calming down as we head towards autumn and it doesn't need roadworks to do it, either. 😂👍🏻

We have had such lovely feedback about our new painting 'the essence of the Rocky', by Adriana. Adriana's Art ♥️ She has taken more commissions as a result, which is lovely. 👍🏻🎨

It was great to see a truly beautiful classic car drive up to the cafe at the weekend. They really don't make cars like this any more. It turned more than a few heads. 🚗♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂

What a difference it makes when the roadworks are not in operation. 😂👊🏻🚗

Well, it has been a much busier week and yesterday we welcomed back Adriana 🎨, for the official unveiling of her painting 'the essence of the Rocky'. 🎨🖼️♥️ It looks great now that it has a final home, as it has so much detail in it. (Can you spot Si King The Hairy Bikers , Alexander Armstrong and Richard Dunwoody Dunwoody Web Design & Photography? Or even Kenton Cool, who climbed Mount Everest. 🏔️ Or perhaps Chali 2na , a very popular American rapper. 🎤 And then, of course, there is Mr Mole 😂👍🏻) 😂 We had such a fun time at the unveiling, as Adriana explained more about her work. 🎉

We have served a few afternoon teas this week, which have been well received. But the highlight of the week was when 3 ladies from New York City put in a review that the Rocky was the highlight of their week in Northumberland. How special is that? 😲👏🏻♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂
