So much that unfortunately have to take some of it decaffinated. <br />Would adore to own a tea service like the silver one with the heat underneath in the second picture. Anyone know whether you can still get anything cheaply like this?Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186923719398602535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-18122925462995286802010-04-07T10:16:10.467+02:002010-04-07T10:16:10.467+02:00Great blog, Dash.

As an American, afternoon tea is a mystery so thank you so much for the history lesson. I remember staying at a fine hotel in the US when I was a child and happening upon afternoon tea in the grand salon. I was entranced. I was only 12 but I distinctly remember thinking..."what a civilized tradition". Of course, the piles of beautiful cakes and pastries helped!Delana@dujourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319475424591739125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-6370316628090949112010-03-26T15:07:12.200+01:002010-03-26T15:07:12.200+01:00Ah, tea time is such an elegant affair!

One day it will be resumed.<br /><br />I've never been to the London Ritz or Waldorf for tea but I have been to tea at the Savoy. It was glorious and something that everyone should do at least once in their life. When we went to New York a few years ago we splashed out and stayed at the Ritz Carlton and of course had afternoon tea a few times. I think the Savoy did it a tad better actually - although the NY Ritz had a harpist as opposed to the Savoy having a pianist.French Fancy...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04941577892849157015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-49954243053425688002010-03-26T11:03:27.033+01:002010-03-26T11:03:27.033+01:00Dash - I absolutely love the first image -beautifu...Dash - I absolutely love the first image -beautiful. I love the idea of taking tea in the afternoon (as opposed to the hundreds of cups I drink every day) but I have a small problem - I'm not really a 'cake' girl and to be able to partake of 'tea' it means dinner must be foregone or at the very least reduced to a very small mouthful & I just can't bring myself to do it!!! I do have really fond memories of nursery teas when my children were small though...lovely post & images, have a great weekend xSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654149963089015480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376674408333249983.post-61066275062390075952010-03-26T05:49:46.684+01:002010-03-26T05:49:46.684+01:00I love tea!
