these posts make me want to open a tea room of my own :yes:
One of the latest craze on afternoon tea and tea shops prompted a lady to convert a caravan into a tea room which she then takes to different events throughout the year – and makes a bomb!!! So, why not have a go at that :):)
I’d need a caravan and somewhere to put it lol
