The tearoom

There were so many more things we wanted to do on this trip but didn't have enough time to do them all. We didn't have time to stop for tea, imagine that. No cream tea? How dreadful. We did watch people have cream tea. We just had a huge lunch at Soho (London' s Chinatown). While visiting Oxford, I had wanted to have some clotted cream ice cream but didn't have time, the tour guide was rushing us to get on the bus, she said it was only a bathroom break. We did stop for lunch at another place in Oxford and had a proper English meal. Sigh! I had the roasted pork belly, Sophie had the Shepherd's pie. It was really good. It was a really pretty English pub. The photos will come in later postings.











































































It's great, you don't know where the shop ends and where the tearoom begins. It's one and the same room. Next to it is the kitchen and the display area, the dishwasher area. It was wonderful to be back in England again and to be back in Europe. It is scenes like this that keeps me going every day. Mind you, this was our first day back, we've just arrived at Heathrow airport and we've already hit the ground running. There's no time to lose.
