We usually start with tea and sandwiches and then go for the scones and desserts. Once place here adds soup to the full menu also. Way too much food for me.

They looked amazing. Second, those tea sandwiches. Not sure why they call it 'tea.'

A friend of my friend took us to see the set of a movie that the BBC had just completed using real tall ships and scenic facades of old style buildings at the piers. We also visited a shipwreck museum. The most interesting thing I learned at the museum is that gold does not corrode in sea water. It looked as good as new even though hundreds of years old.<br /><br />Seeing the photo reminded me so much of a wonderful day I had several years ago in a visit to Devon and Cornwall.<br /><br />RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-9633275995237313002011-09-22T11:10:03.970-06:002011-09-22T11:10:03.970-06:00Wonderful post and pictures!

We have a terrific coffee shop not far from us that serves tea and yummy sandwhiches and scones and desserts, but the setting is more like the setting from the television series 'Friends'...I liked the one in your pictures much better. And the food...though I would've loved to have seen your dessert...after the awesome pictures of the other courses, my imagination didn't have much trouble coming up with what they looked like.

I'd imagined it included the scones and jam, but a full meal?

No matter what is happening in my life-if I can't get into my WIP I write a short story, just to say I wrote today. My goal everyday is 2,500 and most days I make it. Have a great day and enjoy your company.
