Tea & cake at a snowy Ironbridge

The week started out rather icy & grey in the Shire. Our snow was melting under a wet drizzle & having an unexpected free morning, I convinced my friend to join me for a walk along the River Severn at Ironbridge.

It is easily one of my favourite places in the Shire - it is the original Ironbridge which sparked The Industrial Revolution and brought prosperity to our county. It is a beautiful gorge along The Severn River and a treat to visit with its interesting shops & relaxing walks.

On a good day, we love to walk up to the church on the hill & look down over the bridge from up high, but today it was too icy & so we did what any sensible person would and popped into queenies cupcakery for a welcome hot cup of tea & a divine cupcake ... what a better way to view the beautiful Ironbridge than from inside the warm shop ....

Don't you just love the decor & bunting at Queenies? Do you 'do' cakestands & bunting?

Hope your week is bright and cheerful ....
