Morning.

Just setting this up before the old one fills up.

For anyone new, this is a cafe where you can come, eat (calorie free) drink and be merry.

There are kittenbees in the café, which are kittens the size of bees, they are friendly but do nibble the pastries.

Outside are their larger 'cousins' the Bumblecats, they are not as friendly.

Leo is a Lemur who now runs the outdoor dog wash.

Florence is a French pastry chef, Fernando is a cocktail waiter.

Outside is a water feature and a petting zoo.

Morning.

Sorry for the late start, i had a bad night IRL.

So I'm going to settle down in a big chair with a large coffee and wait for Florence to make mini lemon drizzle cakes and Fernando to make lemon liqueurs.

Help yourselves to anything formt he fridge.

I hope you manage to catch up on some sleep @sashh .
It's was chucking it down here this morning , it's eased off a bit now so iv dried the loungers and put the big parasols up .
A mini lemon cake and coffee will be a nice snack in about a hr when I can stop for a break

Im sorry to read you had a rough night @sashh . We will be just fine with the lemon drizzle whilst you rest.Flowers

sashh · 01/08/2024 08:05

Thank you both. It was so hot and I just couldn't sleep, even with the aircon on it was still hot.

Oh by the way I'll be making Yorkshire pudding later, happy Yorkshire day.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 01/08/2024 20:51

Ooh Yorkshires , yes please, it's to warm to cook so a couple with some thin sliced roast beef and horse raddish will be very nice.

sashh · 02/08/2024 01:14

Morning.

Yorkshire puddings for breakfast today, the traditional way, cold with golden syrup.

Florence is making chocolate gateaux and Fernando is serving bitter to go with the YP.

Morning.

It's still hot here so yoghurt and fruit seem in order.

As it's been quiet recently I'm giving F and F a day off.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 03/08/2024 08:13

It's warm here too but it's rained overnight so it's a bit fresher.
Fruit and yoghurt sounds good to me. Do we get a choice of fruit ?
Blue berries
Blackberries
And raspberries please

Sweetpea1532 · 03/08/2024 08:41

That's a great idea to serve up yoghurt and fruit on such a hot day..Thank you@sashh

sashh · 03/08/2024 09:50

All fruit available, except durian fruit.

Look what I made !
Thank you for the recipe @sashh , you are right it's very easy . I had tovadd a little more butter to get to all stick together.

They taste great
Give it a go @Sweetpea1532.

Next time I may try adding a little bit of lemon or orange zest .

A rather late morning to everyone.

Wow @ScottBakula they look great. I told you it is easy.

Well as we have shortbread I think I'll get Florence to make some Viennese whirls and Fernando to pour out a wee dram of single malt.

OP posts:
Sweetpea1532 · 04/08/2024 08:11

Oh yum, @ScottBakula , I will have to give @sashh 's recipe a go!

sashh · 05/08/2024 04:04

Morning.

Has the shortbread gone yet?

I think something cold is in order again, slices of peach wrapped with a little parma ham. Slices of hard boiled egg, slices of melon, yoghurt and guacamole.

Florence is making baguettes and Fernando is making mimosas.

Yummy - Im here !

ScottBakula · 05/08/2024 07:04

Shortbread gone ? Ummm >>brushes crumbs away<<
No quite but there's not many left.

Fruit and ham , sounds good .

sashh · 06/08/2024 03:23

Morning.

Well it's warm again, I'm running out of ideas for nice cool breakfasts so I think I will do boiled eggs with soldiers.

Florence is making shortbread and Fernando is making vodka cocktails.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 06/08/2024 05:54

Soft boiled eggs and soldiers sounds good , do we have any duck eggs ?

It's noticeable dark this morning, I know it's not winter but I don't want it to be dark already .

MinnieMountain · 06/08/2024 06:33

Morning all

Mind if I make some omelettes? I can add ham, cheese or mushrooms.

The happy Place Café is still open as is @Tillly's dog wash.
sashh · 06/08/2024 06:50

Yes to both questions. Nice view @MinnieMountain

OP posts:
sashh · 07/08/2024 02:57

Morning all.

I think for a change we will have kedgeree, Watch out for slightly soggy kittenbees, Leo decided they needed a wash. The best way for them to dry is to fly around.

Florence is making danish pastries and Fernando is making gin and tonic.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 07/08/2024 04:40

Ooh I haven't had kedgeree for a long while. Can I have a tiny bit of tabasco in mine.
I wondered what that dripping was , I thought it was starting to rain.

sashh · 07/08/2024 04:46

@ScottBakula I'll let you add your own tabasco.

I'm thinking of hiring Leo out to the local dog's home, he can't keep washing random animals.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 07/08/2024 04:51

@sashh , thanks 😋.

That's a good idea , I am sure Leo would be great at it
Do you think he would be good at cleaning washing windows ? Some flipping bird has christened my bedroom window.
