The Underground Tea- Victoriana

Tea Time Extraordinaire

Let's just say that I had such a wonderful time today and I'm not going to bother with the wordsworthy aspect of the whole event. I sincerely hope that the photos here do justice to the food; everything was by enlarge beyond delicious. Excellent fun to have met a lot of beautiful people. Thanks to Sienna for playing Otis Redding and Fleetwood Mac on pure and organic sounding vinyl LPs. Hats off to MsM's Mum for waiting on us. Big thanks to Lavender Bakery and MsMarmitelover for a terrific sojournal Sunday afternoon.

I know I should have cut the thing in half, but the knife went awol!
