It is with immense sadness that I announce the passing of my beautiful Mum, Mary Smith.

As a lot of you will know, she was an inspiration for the Tearooms and has been the ‘leading light’ over the last 16 years.

She loved nothing more than baking every day for the Tearooms and did so up until a couple of years ago, at the age of 91 years.

Without my Mum, the Tearooms would not have been created. 

We are overwhelmed by the kind support, words, cards and flowers.

As a mark of respect and to facilitate a celebration of Mum’s life (service at St Mary’s Church, Walkern) we will be closed on Tuesday, 16 December. 

We would respectfully ask that no more flowers are sent at this time, as we would like her to be surrounded by flowers on the day. 

She will be forever the inspiration for myself, Nigel and our Tearoom family.💔x
