When I heard their was a new cafe with a garden, bees and furniture shop called The Secret Herb Garden on the outskirts of Edinburgh, I couldn't wait to check it out and take my Mum with me.

We took my Mum, Nana and Dad along today and as soon as we arrived, we were offered a beer tasting, so I knew there was going to be something for everyone.

There were cakes topped with flowers and a huge selection of quiches in the cafe, although they only seemed to offer slices of the one's they had already cut in to which was bad luck for the mushroom hating vegetarian who came in after us.

Luckily for me, I'd ordered the last slice of butternut squash which was delicious. I also had a bottle of Cry Baby Soda, which I'd tried at Google's last party and they have so many interesting flavours I'd love to try.

Although we got seated in the cafe, you can sit anywhere in the garden or glasshouse.

I'd love to come back soon and drink coffee in the greenhouse with the butterflies.

There was lots to discover in the rest of the grounds including a bee observatory, lavendar garden and chickens.

As I had hoped, the party was at The Secret Herb Garden where we were handed glasses of prosecco, Edinburgh Gin cocktails and botanical beers on arrival.

Our first stop was the schoolroom where we were taught how to make flower crowns. The room smelled amazing and the choice of flowers, hops and greenery to pick from was so pretty.

All of the crowns turned out great and I was amazed at how well we suited them, especially Kenny & Tom.

All dressed up, we went for a walk in the gardens. The bees were sleeping but a tiny little mouse jumped in to Laura's jacket.

We then joined a tour of the orchard where Hamish taught us about the moon, plants, and fairies in his garden.

It was then time for dinner and we were given a hamper filled with a long loaf of bread and jars of hummous, pate, cheese and pickled vegetables to share.

For the main course, I tucked in to barbecued salmon with a stuffed mushroom, potatoes and a salad topped with flowers.

To keep us entertained, there was a magician to show us tricks during our meal. It was actually really impressive seeing them performed up close.

For dessert, we were given jars of eton mess which were really tasty too.

After dinner, we got to make our own beeswax candles.

We were sad when it was time to go home but also excited that we'd get to ride in the camper vans again.

Even though we'd spotted some spiders dangling from the roof, you can't come to a Google party without having at least one snap taken in their photo booth.

Keava & Rosa were back in Edinburgh today so we met up with them for coffee and cake at The Secret Herb Garden which was a bit more crowded and a little less secret than the last time we visited.

Despite the busyness, it was still lovely to sit among the flowers, bees and butterflies. My rose petal tea and cake were delicious too.

Mum, Dad and Nana came though in the afternoon and we went for coffee and cake at The Secret Herb Garden.

We were lucky enough to get the cozy sofas in the middle of the greenhouse and enjoyed sitting among the flowers, bees and butterflies.

Mum and I went for tea and cake at the Secret Herb Garden this afternoon while Tom and Dad watched the racing.

It was a little cold out in the garden but cozy enough to sit in the greenhouse with mulled apple juice.

There was a really cute robin who kept nibbling at out cake crumbs.

The Secret Herb Garden were hosting a Christmas shopping event in the evening, so we took Mum along so she could see how lovely it is at night.

Hamish was dressed up as The Green Man and was handing our mugs of mulled wine and the most delicious mince pies I've ever tasted.

Still feeling a little woozy from the previous night at the pub, we picked up Ash & Rob and took them to the Secret Herb Garden for tea.

The fresh air was exactly what we needed but it was the food we had at The Paper Mill afterwords which really did the trick.

Ash had saved us a little pumpkin hat she'd got with her smoothie and it looked so cute on Tom.
