Mel and I planned our morning tea at Cape Lavender for over a week and this morning we put our plan into action. Cape Lavender Café is not on a cape at all, it is tucked away on a obscure, rather uninviting side road off West Swan Road. The main road has many cafés, restaurants, wineries and other touristy places. Cape Lavender Café is small and cramped but they make the most amazing lavender scones - delightful with jam and cream!
We thought about the calories but not for long. It was a conscious decision to share a plate of two scones; as it was to share a bowl of deep purple lavender ice-cream! We took our time savouring every delicious mouthful. We chatted before we finally left our table to explore the many lavender products on display. Mel bought a beautiful bottle of Shower Gel. I paid the bill and there was no money leftover to spoil myself!
Morning tea is always a pleasure and a celebration when we are eating out. Yesterday Merv's group was cancelled and we discussed the places we could go for morning tea but nothing sprang to mind. Suddenly I said, "What about Maccas? We haven't been there for awhile." A done deal. Cheap but good coffee and cheesecake for Merv; there are no high apple pies at Maccas. Dustin went to the US a couple of years ago and upon his return he told us Maccas is called Mickey Dees. I don't think we will ever adopt Mickey Dees name, but Maccas is close to our hearts. Our kids (and us) had many meals and treats there during their growing years. It was cheap and fun.
