Can tell it’s been Halloween this week …. Full of vampires and fairies ….. Can’t wait to get started on the Christmas plans so the tea room can become transformed to a magical display of a vintage Christmas with a vintage Christmas menu . We are in for a treat …. No tricks ….. that’s all out of the way thank goodness xx the positivity vibe keeps that place alive …. It would be so easy to pack up and hibernate for the winter but that’s not happening . Onwards and upwards … keep smiling everyone and stay warm xx two days off to rest,relax and recuperate xx see you all again Wednesday xx

Lovely few days in the tea room surrounded by the loveliest people who grace us with their presence . It’s become like a social event to call in for a toasted tea cake and a pot of tea ….. we have now started to build our most local customers who call in up to three times a week and it’s always a pleasure to see them and share their laughter and stories about their lives …..Today we had a lovely family in from Birmingham who were going off to Whitby to experience the goth weekend …… Whitby is going to be busy so we expect a few visitors on their way and on their way back xx Our Halloween workshop is tomorrow …. Few spaces left if you want to join us … this is our first in the series of events so come along and have some fun .. starts at 2pm xx Hot food served till 2pm . Breakfast served from 9.30am -11.30 am …. No need to book xx

Looking forward to a busy week in the tea room now as the weather has calmed down for now . Jeez last week was a whirlwind literally ….. Don’t forget we do a children’s special for £6 and we have our children’s corner which is always popular …. Keeps the children occupied whilst you can all have a chat .
Excited for our workshop on Saturday …. Few places left to join us . Just call in for a ticket ….Specials available every day and salads fresh to accompany your main meal or just join us for a bowl of fresh soup and a toastie .
Balcony is still officially open with hot water bottles and blankets available as we spend a long time inside in winter . Approx 20 weeks till spring . Yeah…. We’ve got this … we can do it if you tearoom to it …

Lovely busy day in the tea room today …. Furthest people were from Poynton in Cheshire . Third time they have visited us this year whilst staying at Thornton le dale . I love sharing different places to visit with customers who like going off the beaten track ……. Cheese scones all went today …. Love presenting all our variety of cakes and tarts …. Feeling very blessed . Thankyou xx

So so lovely to receive a comment today from a little lady who said she doesn’t feel like she comes to the tea room just for lunch ….. she feels like she’s coming to see her friends and that’s what we are to every one of you that pays us a visit . She also said she loves reading our stories and asked if I would be riding my horse tonight . How lovely …. !!!! Today was a challenge and a half to get to the tea room with a broken down car … but hey ho …. Made of strong stuff the RAC came to the rescue just like the police ambulance and fire brigade would …. What a guy our Roger … I said Thankyou for helping me and hope I would never have to see you again …. so he’s threatened to come and find me in the tea room when he’s passing in which he’d be most welcome …. It got me thinking that instead of expensive cars I could just put a carriage on the back of those horses of mine and they could have a new job … could you imagine coming over the moors every morning …. The excitement and the views they would experience bringing their mum to work …. the customers they would bring in if i parked them in the front garden of the tea room . The chaos I would cause if I parked them round the back and they both ended up with horse shoe prints all over the best bowling green in Yorkshire …… jeez I would be put in Prison for trespass on private land …… it would make the Sunday papers I’m sure ….. anyway …. You know it’s a good day when you’ve made your customers smile …. You’ve got home after a twelve hour day stinking of horse sh*te and knowing all your animals are happy …. You get in your bed exhausted and know you have to do it all again tomorrow living your best life …. Embracing the challenges … staying in your own lane and minding your own business ….. that is your thought for the day xx
