At Minton's we have a wonderful selection of cakes and desserts made by Judy who was brought up on home baking and is truly a 'bacoholic'.
Last week the secretary of Hollywell Primary School rang Minton's to ask if the children could walk over and eat their lunches outside in our garden.It was a pleasure to see them all laughing and enjoying the chilly Spring air. Thank you for being so good. I bet your legs were aching by the time you all got back to Kimberley!
On the understanding that Blogs can be newsy, informative and inspiring here's a real life peek behind the scenes at Minton's. How's this for my Mothering Sunday?
Our eldest son who lives in Nottingham arrived with a card and a beautiful tub of spring flowers for the patio and stayed to help friends and staff run the tearoom for the afternoon. This wonderful gesture enabled Roger and I to then pay a flying visit to our youngest son in Holland. By 7.15pm we were seated around the table eating and drinking and catching up on each other's news. The next day we were taken to Antwerp in Belgium. Yes it rained and snowed and hailed there too but we did enjoy the day and the Belgium chocolates. That evening we treated the family to a meal out. They have such excellent steaks! The next morning of course it was time to head home ready for work again but what a wonderful 48 hours! That must take some beating.

What fun it was last sunday when our Vicar asked me to make a Simnel cake with the children in Junior Church. Master Chef eat your heart out, we have very strong contenders for a Junior Master Chef!
