With the grey and drizzly weather inhibiting some of our original plans, we drove to the beautiful Harrogate, Yorkshire to visit one of my favourite places in the North of England - the infamous Betty's!
A well established and respected Yorkshire tea house, Betty's delivers some of the best homemade good british food and cakes you can ever have! Although - no-one has any clue who 'Betty' was!
We'd been told the two best dishes were the fish and chips or the Welsh rarebit. Faced with the tough decision both J and I opted for the rarebit. To warm our icy fingers, we started with freshly baked bread and spicy tomato soup before being presented with our Welsh rarebit. Cooked and served in a pan, it was a cheesy delight, with bacon and a delicious array of sauces and spicy relish. To finish off i selected a cherry and frangipani tart from the dessert cart which was perfectly crumbly and fragrant!
We walked around the bountiful antique and boutique shops in the Harrogate streets before being chased away by the oncoming hail!
AB and I went to pick up my twin cousins from school and we spent the afternoon playing and charting away with them before getting them ready for football practice.
Dinner for that night was a new cuisine for me - Thai! We were the first customers in the restaurant but within 15 minutes the place was buzzing and packed! Unsure of what to order - we chose a range of (mild!) dishes to share - curries, fish, chicken and beef which all disappeared quickly!
After driving back from Leeds, anticipation for final IB results was mounting and led to a drama filled night!
