Time for a Change!

Time for a Change… “of what?” you may ask.

Well sometimes you just need a change of scenery!  this was my scenery this afternoon, after deciding that I needed to “get out” and clear my head of numbers!

I decided it was best I took the dogs for a walk before the rain came down… in fact [...]

What Embellishments?

I received a request for my advice today on the subject of embellishments, and what to use.  I have been asked this question a number of times, different types of photos, but it’s the same answer I give.
Of course there are many themed embellishments out there, you know, such as dog bone brads!, but I [...]

So Much More to Come!

I have such plans for the Tearooms, but we have been sooooo busy (which is fantastic) that I have not had a chance to organise much.
Firstly, due to demand, we have made some Gluten Free items, such as Lemon & Poppyseed Cake, Plain Gluten Free Scones and some Enormous Chocolate Brownies.  Many pieces have been enjoyed by [...]

The Tally Ho Tearooms - Official Teapot sign!!

Yes, as I mentioned yesterday, the sign is up and here I am in a typical sort of “tourist” photograph!  But at least it gives you a sense of scale!

I designed the logo myself.  I had the help of local sign writers “EPS Transfers” in Halesworth to tweak the graphics and produce the signs themselves and [...]

The Tally Ho Tearooms sign finally up!

We finally had our main sign put up this evening and when I get the time to retrieve the photos from my phone I’ll show you the end result!
Suffice to say Miles and I are most pleased! Back soon!

Miles and I are so pleased that those of you who have visited us have been most complimentary [...]

Oh My Word!

We officially opened The Tally Ho Tearooms yesterday and have been overwhelmed by the response!
We have been run of our feet for two days and have had people visiting from quite a distance because they have seen the article about our opening in the local (and not so local) papers.
I would like to thank all [...]

Are we official Now then?

We had our coffee machine installed on Monday and we had some training too!  Miles and I shall have a play/practise at the weekend… anyone for a coffee or a hot chocolate? (I made sure I have some of the white chocolate delivered too… it’s brilliant).

We don’t open till 3rd April, but does this mean we are [...]

Tearooms Update - Turning the Corner

I always say that finally getting to that stage where a new carpet can be laid after months of looking at a building site, is when you’ve turned the corner.
We are now on the home straight.  We had the whole Tearooms carpetted yesterday and today… hoorah!
I do realise that unlike putting the carpet into a [...]

February Tearooms Update!

Thought I would update you on the latest goings-on with the Refurb at The Tally Ho Tearooms!
Well in the last two weeks, Miles has finished a two week slog of painting the ceilings, with at least three coats of paint!  Then there are all the walls which have been painted, sometimes up to 4 coats.  Nearly [...]
