Our Year of Dates
Coffee Shop Date
The only benefit (apart from having the TV remote to myself!) of John being away during the week is him arriving back in Manchester at a time that coincides with me finishing work so we can have a cheeky midweek date night!
On Thursday that’s exactly what happened! So with a twist on a coffee shop date we set off for the Northern Quarter where coffee shops are the new cool and therefore open late.
We decided on Teacup which has a new evening menu of tapas style dishes… Not quite standard coffee shop fayre BUT they also had a huge selection of cake and a bigger selection of tea.
After sharing a couple of savoury dishes, while we caught up on the weeks goings on in our various offices, and milkshakes. We moved on to the important cake course.
John opted for a traditional Victoria Sponge and latte I went for Toffee Apple cake and a Immuno Tea (full of good stuff to help battle any germs!).
As expected from somewhere specialising in tea my drink was served with much style including 2 teapots, strainer and a timer! Luckily John was able to work out what I was meant to do (for someone who doesn’t drink tea I was impressed!).
All in all a successful, brief meeting, date was had and we can now look forward to a weekend of weddings and visiting (i.e. not cooking for ourselves!)
