So this year my sister and I turn 50!! Well our combined ages make this delightfully round number at any rate. So we decided to do what ladies do, and we whisked ourselves off to London for the day for some sunshine, shopping and afternoon tea. It was such a wonderful day! The sun came out, it was about 27 degree so the hottest we've had so far this year, and we had the most chilled out day pretending we knew our way round London (I even gave a tourist directions, and I they were correct too!).
We decided it was vitally important that now we are grown ups, we should pretend to be so and have afternoon tea in a fancy hotel. Naturally we picked the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed tea and my goodness was it a good idea! The savoury side of things was so delicious, with smoked salmon on rye bread and mini leek and Stilton quiche standing out as the most yummy of the selection, but the sweets were truly exceptional!
Chocolate, chocolate and chocolate! Oh and candy floss, Eton mess, brioche, scones and milkshakes obviously.... I certainly didn't feel like a lady at the end!
Scones, Brioche and cocoa bean financier!
Pear drop and sherbet lemon candy floss, Eton mess and Caramel chocolate milkshakes!
Scones with summer berry jam and apple compote.
Caramel chocolate milk.
The big finale - Golden egg with vanilla cheesecake and mango.
