Traditional Afternoon Tea

Yesterday was Dominika's first experience of a traditional English Afternoon Tea 😀

Aiste, Basel and I never need any excuse for an afternoon treat, in fact we spent half the time recounting the places we've been and what we enjoyed most about them.




Afternoon Tea, traditional consists of the same thing. Firstly, on the lowest level, some cute little sandwiches. Followed by a plain or fruit scone with jam (traditionally strawberry) and clotted cream. The biggest decision one has to make here is whether to go Cornish style (jam first followed by a dollop of cream)  or Devonshire (cream and then the jam).  
Personally I'm a Devonshire girl 😀😀
After filling our bellies we took a drive in to Dover, paddled and walked along the beach.
Found this great cut out statue of the singer, Dame Vera Lynn, who supported our troupes throughout the second world war. Her most famous song was entitled 'There'll be bluebirds over the White Cliffs of Dover'.
