Saturday would not be the same without a trip over the moor to
our favourite spot TODMORDEN.
I know I am always banging on about it but we just love it.
Especially when we stop for a coffee and cake break at
The Old Coop Shop after getting our weekend provisions on the market.
Today's choice of cake for me was Ginger & Fudge
and Mr Dapper Chap chose Lemon, Caraway & Black Pepper.
Absolutely scrumptious.
PICTURE HOUSE ANTIQUES draws me in like a magnet.
Look what I found,
this beautiful porcelain basketweave bowl.
As you know I can't walk past a charity shop without calling in and
I am so glad I did as I found this vintage St. Michael chiffon blouse for £4 in the RSPCA shop.
It is really pretty, the photo doesn't do it justice.
We finished off our day with a walk along the canal.
If you have never been and live in the West Yorkshire area you are missing a treat.
It's just short off an ice cream parlour.
Well at least I haven't found one yet.
I couldn't stop smiling after I bumped into an old school friend
who I hadn't seen for 46 years. She hasn't changed a bit as
you can tell as we both recognised each other straight away.
Now that really does sound like a happy day. We've spent today in the garden and that makes us smile.....and it's something very much needed just now.

Now that makes me feel better that you are a little late. I was on time but still haven't got round everyone. Things just got in the way. Sounds like you had a great day, cake and a lovely blouse what more could you hope for.... well more cake possibly Lol! Have a great weekend and thanks for the visit to mine, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely day! Your cake sounds absolutely delicious and that bowl...
ReplyDeleteThose cakes look really scrummy and I love that porcelain bowl. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love Tod Market! Love the spice man - well his chocolate, especially the really unusual flavours like the ones with chilli in them.
ReplyDeleteYour day sounded wonderful and it is not far away from us either - must remember it when we get a day off.
Hugs, Neet xx
Ginger and Fudge cake certainly sounds like stopping off at The Old Coop shop for! Todmorden really sounds like my sort of place and I would love to wander round the market and the antique place. Sounds like a great weekend fix. Kate x
ReplyDeleteThose cakes look mouthwatering and add in charity shops then its a surefire winner! xx
ReplyDeleteBumping into an old friend, a chazza bargain and a trip to your favourite place, things don't get much better than that, do they?
ReplyDeleteI had that blouse in blue - good old M&S, made to last! xxx
Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteYour day sounds perfect! Do you have a lot of charity shops there? We have only one in town and it tends to be a little junky, although I have found some great things there.
The coffee and desserts look fantastic! I can see why you'd stop by.
Happy belated Smiles
Hugs,
Kay
Oh wow, I love the sound of those cakes, such unusual flavour combinations. Your pink blouse looks lovely, but I reckon the only photo that's going to do it justice is one of you wearing it! Old friends really are gold, bet that smile lasted for ages xxx
