The thing with visitors, which is always nice, is that I have the excuse to take them to places that I’m always meaning to go to.
So Steph and I went in search of cake and, where better, but our Cake Fridge which is full of delicious home-bakes and it really is a fridge on the side of the road.
Alongside is a delightful tea-room with Lovely Things available to buy in the accompanying craft shop. I was in heaven, I won’t lie.
And the cake is fabulous – we bought a large variety (and I returned for more for Eurovision tonight).
Down the road was a field of Shetland ponies – mares and foals.
So, of course, we had to go and take a look.
Divine. Darling little peoples.
Another short drive and we reached another of our destinations – the Burn of Lunklet. Now, I have never been here and have always been meaning to. I’ve driven past it enough times.
This involves a walk – not a long one, but still a walk.
And off we set along a rather spongey path but it was mostly dry.
Steph and I both thought, at one point, “is this it?” as we walked along the side of the burn (stream) feeling rather under-whelmed.
And then we turned a corner and saw this beautiful waterfall.
So yes, most definitely worth it.
I am feeling slightly smug now that we went and also came home with large amounts of great cake.
My verdict; The Cake Fridge is well worth a visit in so many ways (cake and crafts), and the Burn of Lunklet is beautiful (but keep going until you see it – accept no imitations).
