Places to go in Lancashire
Well, the time of year for dashing about frantically in an attempt to find or do something quite romantic for a loved one may have gone but who needs Saint Valentine to pull back his bow and tell us what to do or where to go?
Heart to heart
It’s that time of year when fluffy teddies, helium hearts and red roses clamour for attention in shop windows. Yes folks in case you haven’t noticed Sunday is Valentine’s Day! here are our top tips for places to check out over the weekend….
The Mystery Tea House is brewing up a special Valentine’s blend, the very tempting Temple of Love tea combines pink amaranth and jasmine flower. For just £2.40 this hot brew should thaw even the frostiest of hearts. If your amour fancies something a little stronger, and is of legal age, slip along to Fives for a Pixies Wing.
What’s brewing in the back streets of Preston?
Come with me down through town and beyond to sample some of the finest tea you have ever tasted! Tucked away at the bottom of Cannon Street is the Mystery Tea House, a sweet little cafe and tea shop serving every type of tea imaginable. As well as serving their delicious tasting brews the Mystery Tea House also serves food and caters for coffee lovers too…
Grey skies looming…
Undeterred by the grey clouds looming over the skies of Preston myself and short stuff set out on one of our fantastic expeditions across town. First stop was to admire the new mural painted on the side of The Ship Inn, Fylde Road.
