Afternoon Tea in Abergavenny – Welsh 100 #59
Now this is one that I really enjoyed. One of my favourite pastimes involves eating. And it is even more of a pleasure when you can do it with old friends, and even more so when Aunty gives me full permission to indulge myself. The last criteria is as rare os hen’s teeth. It was…
