A lovely time at the Old Curiosity Tea Room this afternoon with my two favourite ladies - Judy and Natalie! We ate until we had no more room and took the rest home. I had prepared by eating only a small breakfast and managed to avoid most of the treats at the tennis social this morning, so was quite hungry.
Situated on Main Street, Markham, it's a picturesque and popular spot.
Trying to look very genteel!
And, of course, the dessert stand. Judy's favourite, Empire biscuits as well as shortbread cookies and scones with jam and clotted cream - clotted cream first, then the jam in case you're wondering.
No dinner tonight although I may have a small snack before bed.
Oh that looks just wonderful! We used to go to tea rooms when the kids were young - the best one closed years ago. They served scones shaped like tea pots! - Jenn
ReplyDeleteThat must have been fun, Jenn. I was surprised Natalie wanted to join us but she's still quite a young teenager and likes to do things with her mom.
DeleteClotted cream. I haven't had that since I was in the UK eons ago. I haven't seen it in Australia. What an amazing spread.
ReplyDeleteYes, me neither. Here you can get creme fraiche which is similar. It was a lot of food but we pretty much ate it all.
DeleteWhat a nice treat - I could get into that spread! Thanks for your comment on my neglected blog. I do hope to get back into it soon. Everything is fine, I'm just taking a little break.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that, Wilma, your photos are always interesting. It was quite a special afternoon without the males of the family as they tend to monopolize the conversations.
DeleteOh. Yum. Calories here I come!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was rather carb heavy!
DeleteOh, my. That looks just amazing . . . mmmm. xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely treat and good company.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so delicious. I'm glad you had a lovely afternoon. X
ReplyDeleteWe certainly did. A nice treat for daughter and granddaughter before they head back to school next week.
DeleteOh what fun - I just love going for afternoon tea. You certainly had the perfect company for such a treat. Who knows this might become a tradition for you three.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely should! However, it will have to be a special treat as it's quite expensive.
DeleteLooks like a lovely spot for tea for you ladies. We are unsophisticated about tea here, but it seems to me I just read on a blog in the last few days that the clotted cream and jam are the other way around. ;-)
