Breezy and a little humid this morning in #Royden so not feeling particularly sprightly. Tayberry scone at Benty’s which I’m pretty sure is named for the river, not you-know-who. Walled garden quiet but busy elsewhere.

A dirt path winds through a forested area with tall trees and dense green ferns on either side. A narrow dirt path winds through dense greenery and tall trees in a forested area. A partially eaten slice of tayberry scone is placed on a white plate with branded paper, accompanied by a butter knife, on a rustic wooden outdoor table. A lush garden scene features vibrant pink flowers in the foreground, dense greenery, and a glimpse of a rustic wooden bench and house partially hidden by trees.
