High Tea in Victoria

My boyfriend Kevin took me out to high tea at The Empress. A very ritzy 4-star hotel in Victoria (in British Columbia, for those of you who don't know your Canada geography). We had an adorable table by the window. We got all gussied up (as you can tell) and had a wonderful date. This is us enjoying our tea and treats. Let's see: finger sandwiches, tarts, creams, fruit, biscuits and much more! Tons of cream for the tea! Fine china. I love to see Kevin's hand gracefully curved around the prim tea cup! I felt like Princess Di!

Review: The Willow Tea Rooms in Glasgow

Here I am sitting in a chair in the Willow Tea Room in Glasglow, Scotland. This tea room was designed by the famous artist, Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904. Because I am a tea enthusiast AND an art enthusiast, I just HAD to check it out! 

Here's a view from outside the tea room. It was pretty well hidden, but then again everything seemed hidden or up a few flights of stairs.

This was the wonderful dessert I had (cough) for lunch: Earl Grey tea and a strawberry tart with a dollap of cream.
