One sunny day HelenandCarolineandJaneandMe hit the road and ended up in Winchester. This was not totally accidental because we had important things to do. Helen had promised to give us a tour of the historic centre of the city. En route we planned to stop for coffee in the cathedral refectory, admire the water meadows, check the quality of the retail stores and decide which houses we would buy when we won the lottery.
It was an arduous day and we replenished our glucose levels by eating cake. After much discussion and consultation with the waiter it was agreed that we should each have a slice from a different cake otherwise we would not be able to assess the overall standard. I had courgette and lime cake but don't ask me what flavours HelenandCarolineandJane chose because I was laughing too much to remember.

Sounds a weird combination but it obviously worked. Winchester looks rather lovely.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect day out! And perhaps a good idea for my allotment cafe cake this weekend...! xx
ReplyDeleteI've been making courgette and lime cake recently in an attempt to use up my glut of courgettes. It's delicious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, I hope the cakes were all good. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteLove Winchester - ate quite a lot of cake there recently. The Cathedral refectory is very good. I want one of those houses where the gardens go right down to the river.
ReplyDeleteA day involving friends, cake and laughter can only be good. If the setting is nice, well, you're spoiled.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Like Gina above, I have just been making a courgette and lime cake using a lovely recipe in Nigella's How to be a Domestic Goddess book. Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteSounds a lovely day out !
ReplyDeleteThe Which House Would I Buy game is addictive , and I'm very picky .... I do like a bit of Art Deco .....
I wonder what courgette and lime muffins would be like ?
Laughter and cake is a perfect combination, although of course it's best to alternate the two to avoid choking ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a courgette monster in the garden, perhaps cake is it's destiny.
ReplyDeletelaughing and eating cake sounds like the perfect day to me x
