We walked into the very very fancy hotel and got in line to be seated. The table was lower than expected. We tried and enjoyed six different types of teas including Lady Londonberry and Blue Suede Shoes. We were also served a lovely tiered platter of food (going bottom to top) to go along with our tea. It started off with fresh scones served with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Next was five types of ...
