Always time for a quick cuppa

Tea and macaroons 

Following our ridiculously indulgent start to the day, we achieved very little with the rest of our Saturday, as planned.

            The only time that we ventured out of the house was for the brief hour or two when the rain held off. Whilst we had no need to leave, I have a tendency to get ancy if I don’t leave at least once during the day, so under the guise of needing to get a gift for the Australian family who will be hosting us for drinks this weekend, we went in search of tea.  

 

There is one particular, very nicely arranged shop that I had in my mind would offer the perfect gift selection (and they have an adjoining tea shop, which may also have impacted my enthusiasm to go to this particular store on the other side of town). With packaging a little bit like Fortnum and Masons, a tin of their Singapore Breakfast Tea sounded like the perfect gift, which we got gift wrapped, ready to go!

On the way out of the shop, overwhelmed by the loveliness of it all, we somehow found ourselves being sucked into their glorious tearoom, where we may have accidentally ordered an afternoon tea to get us through the afternoon. It was a bit naughty, especially considering the fact that we had pancakes for breakfast, but it was a glorious little interlude to our day, so no complaints from me!
