I and others were doing our Physio class for our aches and pains. But it was a sad day too, our instructor has Retired! 😩😩😩😩 But we will have a new instructor next week and we will like her as well. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Have a Nice Weekend. Well our New Instructor is lovely.
We ofter pop in for a cuppa and cake at their modern and cheap cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating.
A nice little cafe, the staff are incrediblely friendly and nice and the service is fast. I tried their iced coffee and lemon slice and it's quite nice individually having decent prices. The customers and regulars are on the elderly side so it gets nice and quiet inside. It's pretty new and overall it's a nice place to hangout if you want a bit of peace and quiet.
