Tea Time

"If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you; if you are excited, it will calm you." - William Gladstone

My friend, Julie and I had reservations at the Victorian Tea Room Saturday.
Our seating was at 11:30. When we arrived we were escorted to our table which had Welcome cards with our names,then we chose our hats that we wore for the next 1 1/2 hrs as we soak in the fragrance of the three different types of tea we were served.

Our first tea, English Evening tea was served with our savories: english cucmber tea sandwich, walnut tea sandwich, and sesame-ginger chicken salad tea sandwich.

Our Angel Falls Mist tea was served with our cream scones, lemon curd, and Devonshire cream.

Our third tea, Monk's Blend was served with our lime meltaway cookie, banana nut bread and melon fruit bowl.

We had a fabulous time eating, sipping on tea and enjoying each others company.

This moment; had all my favorite things: pretty cups, flowers, lace, and my friend.
