🙂 Yay! No problems in the night at all, apart from a bit of background tingles, & slept through the night with still a pretty decent figure to wake on! More like THAT please?
Oh, I see I missed
@Northerner this morning just when I watched the latest episode of Amazing Places to Eat on iPlayer & in was in Yorkshire! The first place being featured was Betty’s Tearoom in Harrowgate where locals queue up around the street for a table for afternoon tea with “Fat Rascals”: never heard of them before; not my cup of tea at all though as it sounds like a cross between a scone & hot cross bun, mince pies, Christmas cake etc. with candied peel in it which I HATE! But, their fondant fancies look LOVELY with marzipan & fondant icing: love marzipan; I had QUITE a job trying to dictate THAT so Siri would spell it for me but, had to give up after 4 lines of text of Marcy Pan came up!
Mustn’t be saying it right!
😳 Stronger NI accent maybe than I realised!

Incidentally, there’s nothing more quintessentially British than Afternoon Tea & There have been 2 stand out places that I’ve had the best Afternoon Tea ever! The first place was at The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong where there’s an indoor waterfall in the lobby with silver service of dainty cucumber sandwiches, petit fours, scones with jam & clotted cream, cream pastries & tea! Cost an arm & a leg but, SO worth it! The second place I can’t remember the name of, this early in the morning, was off the bottom of The Spanish Steps in Rome with all of the above minus the silver service & a string quartet thrown in!
😛😎😛😛😛 Also, had Afternoon Tea at The Ritz in London but, it was a tad bit dissapointing as they were doing some renovations of the ceiling in the main seating area, at the time, & it was served in the armchairs & tables off the main lobby which just didn’t have the same atmosphere: TBF, though I’ll have to try it in the main dining room some time if I can get a booking: last time I was in London it was a 3 year waiting list; supposedly VERY fashionable to be seen having Afternoon Tea at The Ritz & I wondered how I got in without a booking!
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day
