Today, on the way back from a trip to High Altitude in Norwich, we decided to stop off at a favoured haunt to pick up some cakes. As always, the cakes were excellent! This time, however, we also picked up a lovely piece of original artwork to adorn Waverley.

We know which tables to choose next time!) and we chose a light lunch from the menus (there is also an extensive specials board as well). On…
