Tea Time

Tweet

My heritage is English.  My maiden name is Wickersham.

My mother's side is French,

I am thinking that I am going to celebrate my English heritage by trying to have afternoon tea every afternoon that I can.

The 4pm tea is called low tea and is usually accompanied with some small sandwiches or cakes.

That seems good to me!

Traditionally I believe the English took their tea with milk.  I used to drink my tea that way when I was young and it is quite good.

I think my urge to do this is from watching and loving "Downton Abbey";

(well, all English movies centered in the 1800's and early 1900's, for that matter.)

Or maybe it's from living in this 1850 house.

I think I'll have to start my teatime journey on Thursday though as I have a riding lesson at 4pm.

(I'll ride English!)

(And practice up on my British Accent!)
