Teatime at Clockwork Rose

 A friend messaged me recently on Facebook and asked if I would like

to go to tea at Clockwork Rose in Beaverton, Oregon.

Now you know me well enough that I don't turn down a chance to go to tea.

Thus you could find me traversing the crazy traffic to meet a friend.

Clockwork Rose always has these cute little pies in the tiny tins.

There was a chicken potpie and a quiche, plus cucumber and egg salad sandwiches.

Then the wrap added a pretty touch of green to the plate.

I do love a good sausage roll, but I had never had one here.

It was good with a dab of mustard.

I had a hefty black tea that kept me awake a good portion of the night,

but I won't complain. I knew what I was doing. I take full responsibility.

I nibbled one scone with clotted cream and jam,

plus the creamy goodness in the glass at the top of the pyramid.

The other scone and sweets came home for another day.

Breakfast will include a sweet or two.

But most of all it is time spent with a new friend getting acquainted and chatting.

A time to linger over multiple cups of warm tea and delicious goodness.

Time well spent on a cozy Thursday afternoon.
