No trip to England is complete without a traditional
afternoon tea. Duncan, the castle butler, presented us with a delightful spread
of tea sandwiches, cookies, and scones with clotted cream and homemade jam.
Whether it was the ambiance of the castle library or drinking tea served by a
butler, I am not sure, but the tea tastes so much better in England. However,
it also has a downside, and that is caffeine. On this particular evening we
couldn’t quite figure out why we were talking a thousand miles a minute and
couldn’t fall asleep. Note to self: One
cup is grand, two is good, three is a crowd. During our gala, our guests
will have the opportunity to take part in an afternoon tea, and Duncan will be
around the entire week to handle all of our special requests, including after
dinner cordials and late night snacks.
