English Tea

As my weeks were growing short in England my friends heard rumor that I had NOT in the 2 1/2 years of living there, had NOT been to tea. They wanted no part of this and arranged to show me an afternoon of tea in my beloved Bury St Edmunds.
It was such a treat and I wondered why I had not done this much earlier in my time there. And look at all these goodies. The most wonderful finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and dessert...
Harriets ~ about as English as it gets!
After we decided to walk around the gardens and take some pictures...imagine ME taking pictures... Miss M had this tiny little tripod that by a pure miracle held my camera up.
And at some point the sugar from lunch kicked in.... hmmm!
The plan was for some type of Charlie's Angels pose. Only I fell over (yep, that's me rolling around in the grass) and got so tickled I couldn't get up.
So we tried again. Notice how they put me in the back where I couldn't cause and more trouble!! Miss you guys!!
