My dear friend and sister-in-Christ
LAURA
invited me to her lovely home for
an afternoon Tea
We share a love of all things
BRITISH
Laura loves to set a pretty table
She has a beautiful china collection
and often uses different sets
for different seasons of the year
Her corner hutch holds a collection of her grandmother's bone china |
Aren't they perfect for a pretty spring table setting |
For our tea she choose her
Royal Blue and White set
I felt like a queen sitting down to
this exquisite tea
She prepared a lovely
selection of sweet and savory
delicacies for our tea
Every dainty bite was delicious.........
But when she brought out a plate of her
freshly baked scones I was in pure heaven
and of course she had lemon curd
and clotted cream to go a top
her yummy scones
and clotted cream to go a top
her yummy scones
What a wonderful finish to a delightful
afternoon cream tea
For those of you who aren't familiar with the
term "Cream Tea"
(and I wasn't until my recent trip to England to visit my relatives)
it's an afternoon tea (light meal) that includes a combination of
scones, clotted cream, and jam.
Sometimes referred to as a Devon or Cornish Cream Tea
Every Little Birdie says
Tea for Two with a special friend
A perfectly lovely afternoon
