Afternoon Tea near Spalding

One of my favourite places to eat with my girls is Afternoon tea. We regularly enjoy spending time with them eating sandwiches and scones whilst sharing jokes and making beautiful memories with them. My oldest daughter is especially keen on spending intimate birthday celebrations alongside her family.

I know finding spots to create these memories and eating wonderful cakes and scones is difficult so I’ve compiled a list of some of the most popular afternoon tea places within the local area and am sharing my all time favourite, go to place to enjoy afternoon tea.

Afternoon Tea at The Chalkboard

The first place I recommend especially as a mother of a daughter who has a gluten intolerance and a milk allergy is ‘The Chalkboard’ tea room in Peterborough. Everything on the menu is completely customisable with both vegan and gluten free options available it is the perfect place if dietary restrictions or preferences are present in your family. One of the most optimal features of this tea room is the menus available on the website so you know what options you have before you go, leaving no room for disappointment or frustration. I’ve included the link to the website here, I hope you enjoy.

Afternoon Tea at Something Special

The second tea room I recommend is Something Special in Pinchbeck, as many reviews have said the staff there are so lovely and the place itself has a homely feel. The tea room offers cakes and breakfast boxes as well as sandwiches and tea and coffee which is absolutely delicious and it is all at a great price as well. This particular tea room is incredibly popular so ensure you book in advance to secure seating. There is such a wonderful variety of treats and meals available at Something Special, I definitely recommend.

Afternoon Tea at Lilli’s Tearoom

My third and final recommendation for you today is Lilli’s Tearoom and Cakery in Deeping, this place is my absolute favourite for afternoon tea. My daughters and I have always loved attending there, ever since it first opened. My eldest has had multiple birthday celebrations there with her closest family and staff are always helpful with accommodating allergies and dietary preferences.

I cannot recommend Lilli’s enough, it is truly the best for afternoon tea, cakes, tea, coffee and even milkshakes. The kids menu is also highly inclusive as is the variety of milk alternatives and gluten free options available.

Be sure to pay the wonderful owner Sarah a visit at Lilli’s and indulge in the wonderful cakes and sandwiches she has to offer.

Do you know of any other fabulous local businesses that are a must visit for Afternoon tea? If so drop me a message or a comment and let me know.

Wall art

Wall art is a lovely addition to any home, it fills the room with beautiful memories and smiling faces and creates an overall atmosphere of joy. Not only does it bring all these wonderful feelings, it looks great and makes your children feel great too! How awesome?

Think about it, when your child brings you a photo of something they’ve drawn, you proudly hang it up on the fridge or on a cupboard as a way of saying you love it and you are proud of it.

In your child’s mind this computes to say that, ‘my parents love anything they hang up on the wall’

David Krauss, a licensed psychologist tells us that, “It is really important to show a family as a family unit. It is so helpful for children to see themselves as a valued and important part of that family unit.”

He further stated that photos on the wall help children to understand how they fit into the family and it’s story, it makes them feel as though they belong.

This is especially true if the photo includes other members of the family. Studies show that children’s favourite photos in the home are the ones that include their family – there is no real reason for this, but it is likely due to that feeling of belonging that children love.

In this age digital photos are becoming the norm, rather than opting to hang up prints or canvases in the home it is found that many keep the photos to themselves or share them with family over social media. It is far less common for family photos filled with grinning children and happy memories to be displayed in the home.

As a photographer, I find this fact quite upsetting as I know from my own experience that my daughters love the photos we have of all of us in the home. My youngest often comments on the photo of her doing a ‘super baby pose’ when she was much younger and that’s become something she finds a lot of joy in.

I wholeheartedly believe that photos should be displayed in the home, not only to create a beautiful atmosphere and fill a space with wonderful memories, but to boost children’s confidence. It is for this reason that I do not offer digital only purchase options with my main packages. All purchase options include prints to go with the digital files you purchase. I urge you to frame them and display them around your home!

A statementl piece of wall art is also a wonderful addition to your family home. A large family image of everyone together shows unity and love between you all. Wall art is an investment in your family and will hang on your wall for many many years. My fairy image of my 2 girls has hung proudly over my fire place for 7 years now and i’m sure it will be there for many many more. To me the image is priceless and the cost minimal for all the years of enjoyment it has and will continue to give me.
