Back to Alder House

A bakery bag on the kitchen table, the kettle on and a mug waiting for you. Come back to Alder House after a little walk through Amberfell.

Stay a little longer

About this visit

Ruth warned us that the kitchen takes a little while to warm up. There is a lamp by the window, though, and the pear tree outside is still holding on to autumn. The bakery bag has made it home. The cheddar scone we were saving for later may have to become something for now.

Stay in season
