Tea for Two or 25...

I love tea and over the past year I've realized that pretty much everyone we know is a sucker for a fresh scone and a steaming cup. I decided to throw a spring tea party and serve a full English tea spread with finger sandwiches, cakes, Devon cream and of course scones. Nancy and I began searching every Goodwill, Sally Ann and Antique shop we could find for mismatched bone china cups and saucers which eventually yielded an impressive and eclectic set. No two are alike and we're sure they all must have a story. As the day of the tea party neared several neighbours donated teapots, tables and chairs and quite a few friends channeled their inner Julia Child and added wonderful food to the spread. The result was a delicious day of eating and drinking (I think the mimosas might have over-taken the tea). Cheers to a great day in the sun.
