Quintessentially English

Cucumber sandwiches, strawberry sponge, cups of tea and straw hats in the garden; just how traditional can you get? The only thing missing was the vicar, but we made up for that with our two special guests; both eminent ladies of the community who had expressed a wish to see the top part of the garden that their wobbly pins wouldn't let them reach by the normal route. So it was time to set to and clear the pathway to the rear gate and after making sure the twitten was also navigable we brought them in that way. Both were very taken with the garden, the view, and the tea time treats. A very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon.
