The Ivy House Café in Montgomery, mid-Wales. What could be nicer than Earl Grey tea and warm buttered scones in beautiful little tea rooms like this?

An interesting arrangement of "Tea For Two" by the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich.

Do they have Reuben Sandwiches in there? If so...save me a seat. LOL. Very nice again, Steve.

What could be better? Lots and lots of lovely artery clogging clotted cream and home made strawberry jam in front of a roaring coal fire. Great shot and lighting.

I can't agrue your point Caruso. I think it would be a great place to share some time and some scotch. Oops. This is really clear and I love the bright sunshine and shadows.

I really liked the arrangement of Tea For Two as well. Felt like I was in a movie theatre. Good post and glad to see you are on the mend.

I'll meet you at the edge of the sunlight, just behind the shadows. Anyone who does not like clouds, does not like to dream. The Ghost

Another especially nice one, and nice music to listen to while I'm having tea. It's you add music to some of your shots. Thanks.

This is chocolate box stuff. The light has really accentuated the brickwork here and turned it all into quite a striking shot. I'm not entirely sure about the crop - the bit of house and extra chimney on the right makes it feel a touch disorganised - but the cafe window and signage have come out really well.

This really has a unique appeal to it. I can stare at it forever. The color and detail are stupendous. I do find the attached portion of building on the right unnessasary and distracting. I would have cropped it out.
