I received a delivery from Betty’s yesterday so I’ll bring the Victoria Sponge and fat rascals we were treating ourselves. Sharing them means we won’t get the sugar rush we get yesterday from the fondant fancies 😂

Is that in York? When I was a lad there was a Betty's men's, women's and children's wear shop in St Albans. A vast shop with low prices but of dubious quality. Been gone for decades - maybe the Primark of the era!

I have been to Betty's but never got to a table - feasted my eyes on the cakes as we stood in the queue- husband said only morons would wait this long for a cup of tea and an overrated cake and left. So my order is the complete cake stand and a gallon pot of Yorkshire tea......

I'll be there, I'm bringing my tinned tomatoes with me in case they go missing in my absence! 🍅 😂

Maisie's chocolate cake was extremely nice last time....another one today?

I will bring a carrot cake and some chocolate brownies.

I would also like a very strong cup of Yorkshire tea please.

I'll bring the Yorkshire tea bags if there's none left.

We have had a donation of a 70's style Black Forest Gateaux. They wish to remain anonymous as they are also in the Weight Loss group! 😀

There are 2 Betty’s in York, one in the centre of Harrogate, 2 at Harlow Carr Harrogate, one in Ilkley, and one in Northallerton. In the 60s there was one in the centre of Leeds where my mum used to take me and my sister to choose a bun for our birthday. We were poor but my mum believed in quality as a treat. Her name was Betty so whenever I go to Betty’s it’s to remember my mum.

I'll be along shortly. I've got some vodka but failed to secure any fresh orange juice yesterday, so if someone's got some that would be much appreciated. The Victoria Sponge sounds lovely.

Oh and Michael - you can unlock the toilet rolls, I managed to get some yesterday so won't be casting envious eyes over the stock of toilet rolls 🧻👀

OK for soap as well - feel like I've won the lottery! 😊

A story of young love and dedication.

My youngest aged 19 has just run 2 miles to see his girlfriend. They held their conversation the regulation 2m apart.

He then ran 2 miles back.

They just wanted to see each other💑💓❤

The tea rooms will close at 6:00 but the Bar and Cafe will be open! There still plenty left and doggie bags are available. By the power of virtuality I am popping to the Bar and Cafe to get things ready!
