A mother and her three daughters are set to open up a new tearoom in a Suffolk village in memory of their dad who died after a battle with cancer.
Helen Clutterham and her daughters Meg, Eliza and Hermione will be opening Ivy and Bond in Long Melford on Monday.
Mrs Clutterham said the new tearoom, which her husband would have "loved" has given her family a new thing to focus on after the death of Paul Clutterham in August.
"It's about looking for a focus for me and my three girls," she said.
"It is a way of looking ahead because grief is a very tough thing to go through but having a focus is good for us all."
The family, from Glemsford, said when they were looking for a place to open the new tearoom they were also looking for a place that Paul would have liked too.
"We are really excited," Mrs Clutterham said about the opening.
"My nieces are coming to work here, Paul's sisters are helping, and we have got friends who are working for us so it really is going to be a family business.
"Paul always used to love going out for a coffee and so here we have got a courtyard garden which he would have loved.
"When we went out for coffee we would go somewhere where you could sit outside.
"When we were looking for somewhere we were also looking for a place that Paul would have liked as well."
There is also a special meaning behind the name of the new tearoom. Ivy because Paul and Helen enjoyed eating at the Ivy restaurant and Bond represents Paul's love for the James Bond films.
Mrs Clutterham used to be a school teacher but has now left her role to focus purely on the tearoom.
She said: "It is something completely new for me.
"I used to manage nurseries as well but it is why having a new focus is a good thing."
The tearoom will have a "simple but classic" menu including sandwiches, toasties, baked potatoes, and light lunches.
Afternoon tea will also be available at Ivy and Bond with unlimited tea available.
