Having or eating your cake?

My eyes are often drawn to scenes that represent something "typical" about a place, although I have to be careful not to reinforce clichéd or overly-romantic ideas, and not to perpetuate myths by freezing just one moment in 1/125th of a second. But this scene, in the Derbyshire village of Youlgrave, was irrestible. The tea and home-made cakes were delicious, and the community warmly welcoming. I'm looking forward to enjoying more afternoon teas out and about, as lockdown eases.
