We were given a gift voucher at Christmas, for afternoon tea at Jessie’s Kitchen in Broughty Ferry, not somewhere we had ever been before, but afternoon tea is just about my favourite meal because I get easily bored by food and I like a lot of variety, a wee bit of lots of different things, and that is what we got this afternoon. It was delicious!

We couldn’t manage it all though, which must be quite a regular occurrence I’m sure, and our waitress asked us if we would like a box to take the surplus cake home, which we did. That was at 4 o’clock and we were so full up that neither of us had room for our dinner tonight. All we have had since then is tea/coffee – so with any luck we might not have put on any weight!

The setting is a large Victorian villa overlooking the River Tay and there’s a garden centre in the same building. I think we’ll be making a return visit sometime in the future.
