With the start of summer just a few weeks away, many of us are already looking forward to how we can make the most of the long days and warm weather.
One of the most quintessentially English activities to do on a fine summer’s day is to go for a spot of afternoon tea.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or simply meeting up with friends for the first time in a while, enjoying afternoon tea is a wonderful way to spend a few hours on a summer's day.
From scones and jam to prawn sandwiches and scotch eggs, afternoon tea consists of all kinds of tasty treats.
These days many different places offer afternoon tea, even garden centres and farm shops.
