When my daughter was ready to start kindergarten quite a few years ago,
I took her to afternoon tea to celebrate.
It has always been a precious memory for me;
so with her son getting ready to start kindergarten tomorrow
I decided we must go to afternoon tea a few days ago to celebrate.
Truthfully he wasn't so sure he wanted to go because
he thought it was girl thing.
But when he walked into the Best of British in Beaverton, Oregon,
he was enchanted by everything pretty.
He was the perfect gentlemen at tea with me and my "live-in gardener".
With each bite he said "this is very good".
Yes indeed it was sooo good and sooo fresh.
Each bite a delight.
I almost forgot to take a picture of the savories and sandwiches;
so two are missing from the plate.
Yet, it still looks like a lovely plate of food and it was very good
from the cucumber sandwich to the Battenburg cake.
Even the tea in each of our teapots was just "swell".
And with a wink of the eye, I do believe he will return with us again
for afternoon tea time and a sip of tea.
Happy to Launch this little guy off into a new world of school,
new friends, and learning with afternoon tea.

That's a great tradition, and I'm glad your adorable grandson was willing to give it a try. And I'm even more glad that he enjoyed it!
What a sweet way to celebrate this milestone. I'm glad that your grandson enjoyed his first tea outing.
Marilyn, what a darling boy! AND a lovely way to start school. This brought up memories of me sitting in my childhood kitchen drinking tea with my English grandmother from about the age of two! We could never go out for afternoon tea as there was no place within 200 miles that served it.
What a fun time for your grandson, and for you, too. He sure is a cutie!
What a handsome little man! I love the photo of the two of your together but that wink was priceless!
