"Got the “high tea” to go. It was absolutely lovely and delicious. Several sandwiches, far more than enough. Pretty little desserts, large fluffy scones and all the accoutrements were included. Unfortunately, I dropped it, taking it out of my car. So a few little sweets got broken, but they were still yummy. Unfortunately, I only had the unopened pic."

"If you said I would have afternoon tea I would tell you 'no way". If you said I would also love it, I would think you were dropped on your head. But I did. Awesome treatment. Delicious tea. Fine china cuos, tea pot, ... they check on you and pour... I will be back (omg, I just admitted that!!)"
