Tea Tiiiiiiiiiiimeeeee :D

When you try to think of things people do that are super British, posh tea parties with tiered platters, scones, and cupcakes probably comes up at least once. As I'm sure you all know, I'm a huge fatty. Like huge. Like ohmygodyouresoobeseyourejustspillingallovertheplace. So obviously, the idea of having afternoon tea with DESSERTS LIKE CUPCAKES AND TARTS intrigued me. a lot. Also it just *sounds* classy to have afternoon tea, and I love to make myself think I'm classy. :D A few weekends ago, my friend and I spontaneously decided to finally make this happen- we already had a place in mind for a while. It was a bright sunny Sunday morning- perfect for a tea party! (: We got the afternoon tea for two and sat ourselves outside. We were considering dressing up all classy before, but in the end couldn't be bothered to do it. It's okay- it was still delicious, and the tableware was so cute! :D

strawberries and cream tea :D so fruityyy (just like you.) hahaha :D

yummmmmmm :DD feeling classy! because i am.

Scones, tiny cupcakes and tarts, and sandwiches all washed down with tea. Needless to say it was a very satisfying and filling brunch. Part of me thought this afternoon tea thing would be just a one time thing for me since it was a liiiittle pricey. I really should have known better. This week I had a huge french macaron craving, triggered by this week's episode of a certain tv show I won't mention the name of (I'm a little ashamed). I ended up dragging one of my friends with me to this cafe for tea and macarons.

why are all the plates always so pretty!? i wish i could take it home with me.

It was... mmmmm..... delicious. And just what I needed to unwind from a week spent mostly working on final assignments. :D The macarons of course weren't as good as the ones we got in Lyon, but it still kicked the craving. Even better, the almond tea I got was delicious. It reminded me of almond milk tea, which I've been supersuper craving from Half&Half all semester.

almond tea! (+ a really yummy biscuit on the side)

I'm planning on going with my friend to get tea sometime this week at a place more nearby. Next weekend we're going to try to go back to Cuthbert's (the macaron place) to have high tea for two, with the tiered plates and everything. We sadly didn't find out about this option till *after* we ordered. I think this is the start of a new addiction... D: I seriously don't know how I'm not diabetic yet. Aghhh.
