Sunday Afternoon Tea

One of the benefits of having rubbish weather like today is that not many people visit Crook Hall (bad for business), leaving lots of extra food lying around (great for us). Our neighbor and owner of Crook Hall, Maggie came to the door just now to ask us if we wanted "an afternoon tea" as the food would just be wasted if it wasn't eaten. 


We said, "Sure!" but, to be honest, we didn't even know what it meant. We looked it up on Wikipedia and browsed the afternoon tea menu at the Ritz in London getting more excited by the second, and after a few minutes, she came back with beautiful tiered glass trays laden with gorgeous finger foods. 

I mean, really! What a lovely surprise!

Coffee cake

Ginger cake

Vanilla cake with cream and jam filling

Scones and clotted cream and strawberry jam

Prawn and mayonnaise sandwiches

Cheese and tomato sandwiches

Ham and cheese and mustard sandwiches

Smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches

Y'all should go to Crook Hall and Gardens immediately, but save some tasty food for the neighbors! :)


Thanks so much, Maggie and Keith!
