Inspired by the 1898 Royal Weekend Party we saw at the Warwick Castle yesterday, we decided to throw one ourselves. Short of dressing up as Earl and Countesses, I must say our tea party was just as grand (and very English). After visiting Chipping Camden and Broadway Tower, we quickly made ourselves comfortable in a lovely tea room in Broadway. We had fruit scones with jam, Victorian sponge cake and Cotswold Afternoon Tea. Gavin introduced clotted cream, which went perfectly with the scones and jam. Jerrain was happy to polish off all the cream before she found out clotted cream was more fattening than butter. Actually she was still licking off the saucer after she was told the fact. You go girl!
Gavin and Serene had to peel us off the seats of that tea room before we miss our Megabus to London. We dropped by Lakeside to check out Serene's apartment and the wild geese she feeds from time to time.
Then it was time to leave Coventry with our oversized backpakcs and tuna and egg sandwiches which Gavin and Serene lovingly prepared for us. They are the sweetest!

Oh Kel! Jaso and I were just thinking about clotted cream and scones the other day and wondering whether you would be eating any while in the UK. I am so glad you girls had some. Isn't it just the best? :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jerrain loves it!! I like how well it complements the jam. But my personal fav is still butter. :)
