What’s not to love about the New Forest? It’s so beautiful that every time I visit I come away with the desire to buy a holiday cottage in the area. Where else can you see horses roaming free around the streets? 


I even tried to bundle a small pony into our car to take back to London, but Ben stopped me. I know it’s not practical to have a Shetland pony in an apartment, but we do have a large balcony….



While here, we stopped for tea and cake in the town of Lyndhurst . The town has a selection of cafes and tea rooms, and of these we chose to visit Indulgence, attracted by the cakes arrayed in the window.

I have to say that the service was super quick… the fastest out of any café I’ve been to yet, hands down. We’d barely completed our order before the food and drinks came out.

On the coffee front, it was “passable” according to Ben.



The cakes came out in a novel format… served together on a large wooden platter (so top marks for being unique). My red velvet was a little too rich, with way too much icing even for me! Ben ordered the coffee & walnut cake… I think he does this because he knows I don’t like coffee so I won’t end up eating half his cake.

The décor was interesting, and a lot of effort has been put into creating a certain style which sets Indulgence apart from its competition.



If I was in the area again, I’d probably return to Indulgence, as it seemed to be the best option out of all the cafes in town. And I’d definitely get that pony.
