Tea time - and testing Flickr Blogging!

Tea time
Originally uploaded by MrsRev

My husband enjoying a cream tea at Harriet's in Peterborough (and eyeing up mine as well!)

It's lovely in there, the waitresses all wear old fashioned black dresses and white aprons and caps, and are all so friendly. Sometimes there is a pianist as well (although we've never caught them yet), and it's so civilised. They do afternoon tea with sandwiches, cake and scones, and also a champagne tea for very special occasions. The tea is real leaf tea in a pot (remember to use the strainer!) and the sugar is in a proper bowl and the milk is REAL! Only downside is that a cream tea is £4.50 so we keep it for treats...

I meant to post this to tea_and_crumpet but apparently it only posts in my main blog. Oh well, editing is a good thing!

I'm glad you posted it in your main lj so we could see it too!

I now want a cream tea - and am resolved to take my husband out for one somewhere nice at some point soon if I can get Mum to have the children!

I've never had a cream tea...

I'm scared by the implication of fake milk though.

How have you managed to avoid them?!?! And real as in not the stuff in little plastic pots, the ones that get more on you than in the cup...

[rosie-rah.livejournal.com]

I do not know.

And I understand what you mean by fake milk now. Although considering the UHT stuff I sometimes ingested in France...
