Foto Friday - Coffee Break

The English tradition I adjusted quickest to is having coffee or tea and cake in the afternoons - definitely one to bring back to my daily life in America (as if I don't already drink coffee all day).
     Laura's mum treated us to a lovely afternoon at Cafe des Fleurs in Rye. It's a combination cafe and flower shop, and the smell of espresso brewing mixed with fresh cut blossoms was intoxicating. It didn't hurt that the coffee and cakes were delicious, we were given free (incredibly rich and creamy) truffles, and the cafe decor was adorable.
