Tea Time

A post I began in July 2010:

Last month the Readers' Knot book group decided to do an English tea. Strangely enough there have been articles about tea time one in a British edition of Country Life. It's bringing back fond memories of a cream tea at Fortnum and Masons in London, or at a out-of-the-way tea room deep in the Sussex countryside. I couldn't remember how to find those tea rooms. Brian Collins, my then boyfriend, would encountered them on trips along the meandering side roads to Bodiam Castle or en route to Rye, one of our favorite haunts. Mmm. cucumber sandwiches, Scotch eggs, scones with cream and jam, and lots of traditional English cakes. I'm looking forward to this tradition for our book group.
