An English Tea With Aunt Faith ~

About 2 months ago we were priviledged enough to be asked over to my Aunt Faith's house for an English Tea. Lunch and tea were served English style, clotted cream, scones, bisquits, and all. It was a fun experience for me and for my children and we so enjoyed out time together in their home.

This is really a new experience for my Aunt as well. She grew up here in Idaho/Oregon her entire life as a farm girl, so 'teas' were just something that they heard about, but something that they just drank and not a festivity.:) About 8 1/2 years ago my mom's sister, Faith, lost her dear husband, Ken to cancer. A year ago this weekend she re-married Bernie, who also lost his first wife to cancer and who has lived the last 20 or so years in England. Tea or as he says, a cuppa, is very much a part of their everyday lifestyle now. As he has grown accustomed to, he has "tea time" at certian times of the day, so Aunt Faith has adjusted to this and has come to love it, so she shared it with all of us. A great big Thank You to her.
