Orston

To Orston, to Inspect a bridge we built 20 years ago! We asked our Client, a discerning and knowledgeable person, if there were local Eccles Cake Bakers? Unable to find any he commissioned these.

The Lime Haus, the village hub to bake some! Such luxury.

As sensuous as the person who baked them.

What a lovely bottom.
