Afternoon Tea at Home

 Afternoon tea has become very popular of late, with dainty sandwiches, cakes and scones topped with lashings of cream. There are so many places you can go and have afternoon tea from a café to the Ritz in London. I took a friend of mine for afternoon tea and an evening at the spa for her birthday. It was great being in beautiful surroundings before relaxing in the sauna and hot tub.

You can also recreate afternoon tea in your own home. My sisters and I put on a little tea part for our Mum at the weekend. It was so fun to decorate and prepare all the food. The key is to make everything dainty and easy to eat with your fingers.
