Of Scones and Sandwiches

To wrap up the birthday weekend, the parents came over to spend the day. After a delicious lunch and a stroll, it was home for a post-prandial nap only to wake up again and get our afternoon tea on!

Fizzy!

Ouf today was hot, sticky, and quite muggy! The good thing about a day like this? It's just perfect for a Strawberry Mint Fizz! 

An Impromptu Cream Tea

In preparation for afternoon tea tomorrow, JLee decided to come over and help me figure out my first ever batch of scones. Whew I'm glad she was there to give extremely important input on what "coarse meal" is supposed to look like and whether freezing butter is a good idea (it is! for scones that is). Later in the afternoon while we were making honey butter to go with the scones, Y came over and we ended up having a mini afternoon tea of our own :-)
