After Pride I wandered back along the route to my car looking for a cafe or tea shop but didn't find anything that appealed. When I got back in sight of my car I was a little surprised to see that the mirrors weren't folded. The door handles also didn't present when I got there and I realized that when I switched handbags I had forgotten to take my keys with me. So for several hours my car keys, credit cards, car, and Chromebook were rather easy to make off with. Must be more careful

So I decided to take a the country route back to Crewe and see if there were any tea shops on the way. My car satnav can show such things on the screen but for some reason it now includes pubs when you ask for cafes. I'm almost certain it didn't used to do that but I can't pinpoint when it changed.

Anyway I found the village of Audem had a cafe, The Tearoom at No 11, that wasn't a pub and was open until 16:00. There I had a pleasant mocha and a very light slice of gluten free Victoria sponge. The sponge was very good for gluten free, not up to the best of such sponges using ordinary flour though.



After my coffee I still had plenty of time on my parking ticket so i wandered around the village a little and headed for a charity shop that i had spotted on the way to the cafe.

The church is a fairly typical one for the area I think

There is a millstone outside it for no reason that I could see
