#FlashbackFriday to when I treated Mum to breakfas #FlashbackFriday to when I treated Mum to breakfast at @kynd.folk in Worcester (or maybe it was the other way round πŸ³πŸ€”)

It's a really lovely brunch spot in a historic building overlooking Gheluvelt Park. And as it was a nice day when we visited, we sat in the covered garden area.

The menu has lots of tasty treats for humans and also a dedicated section for dogs πŸΆπŸ˜‹ I got a sausage (of course) and Mum had the amazing Halloumi Fry Up, which was so big, she couldn't finish it all - so it worked out well for me 😜

Thank you, Kyndfolk, for being so dog-friendly. I wish we lived closer! πŸ˜†πŸ‘πŸΌ

@parkhill_hotel_lowestoft welcomes dogs and their @parkhill_hotel_lowestoft welcomes dogs and their owners - and has acres of grounds to explore 🐢🌳 Read all about this lovely family-run hotel in my latest blog post. You'll find the link in the comments below πŸ‘‡πŸΌ 

PS - If you've noticed the website looks a bit different lately, it's because we've recently switched domain providers. Although everything has been copied across, quite a few pictures have got lost so we're having to relink them all. It's no easy task as there are more than 250 posts, but bear with us - we'll get there! 🫠
