Clandestine Cake Club South Lancs meet at Thyme

The South Lancs branch of the Clandestine Cake Club met at Thyme today. It was lovely to host this event and of course to taste the fabulous cake. The Theme was Spring and the weather was certainly Spring like.

If you are interested in going the South lancs branch the events are listed on the CCC website or contact Susan via her blog http://notjustanyoldbaking.blogspot.co.uk/

New arrivals for Spring

I love this time of year. The days seem longer, the air gets warmer (well a little), the spring flowers make everything look brighter and new stock has arrived at Thyme.
Tracklements have introduced Pear & Perry chutney as their new seasonal product, alongside a 'Right Royal Pickle' for the Jubilee. Both are in stock at Thyme.
Union Jacks are everywhere including on Montezumas new 'pudding bars' of chocolate. Try Treacle Tart, Eton Mess, or Lemon Meringue at Thyme.
We also have some new Kitchenware items and more arriving later this week.
Pop in for a browse sometime soon....

New arrivals

We are very pleased to be a stockist for a range of products by Scottish textile designer Gillian Kyle

All the aprons, tea towels & bags are made by a small, family-run firm who take the utmost pride in creating every item. The care and attention to detail in producing even the simplest of products is second to none – and the results speak for themselves. They use organic cotton for our products, and begin the process by cutting each piece to the right size, then the products are screen printed with our designs and then they are sewn, finished and checked. They provide skilled jobs in a rural area where they are in short supply and take the time to train each seamstress & printer to the level necessary, which can take around 3 months of tireless practice.
The beautiful fine bone china mugs in the range are from a great wee company located in the historic heart of the UK ceramics industry; Stoke-on-Trent. They employ a highly skilled workforce and are one of the few remaining businesses in the area (and in the country) capable of doing this kind of work to such a high standard. The use of fine bone china gives all the mugs their crisp whiteness and slight translucency.

We love the quirky and iconic designs and we hope that you will too.
