One More Tea Time


Whew! It seems like I have been to tea quite a lot the past month
and indeed three times is quite a lot for me.
Now I must diet for sure, but in the meantime I wanted to enjoy one more tea time
on my actual birthday last week.
Sadly the Best of British is closing and it was my favorite in this area.
I wanted to have one more tea time there before it closed.
Sitting by this beautiful mantel was both a delight and a time of sadness.
When my grandson had tea with me last fall he loved the kitty pictures above the mantel.
They are such royal kitties for sure.
Sally, one of the owners, knew what tea I would order
and smiled when I didn't disappoint by ordering a nice Darjeeling tea.
The savories and sandwiches are always so good and come out very fresh.
Each savory was also warm.  Yummmm! My favorite part of tea time.
There was a heart shaped scone, but I ate it without a picture.
And then the sweets were served and so beautifully displayed.
It was a beautiful tea time for sure; yet bittersweet.
I will miss this dear tearoom and the owners too.
Best wishes are sent out to the ladies of Best of British;
your shop was a very special place and you did it well.
