English Tea Rooms














Just a wee sampling of the tea rooms we came across, and all too often succumbed to on our travels. After traipsing about all day, it's comforting to know that around just about any corner, there's a tea room ready to provide you with a place to take the weight off for a bit and a good cuppa to restore your spirit and set you on your merry way for more holiday making!

Cream Teas






Just about everywhere you go in the South of England... in our case Cornwall, Devon and Somerset... you will come across signs like these inviting you to take time out for a lovely English cream tea. I am happy to say that we hardly ever passed up the chance to consume one, and made it our mission to compare the subtle differences of scones we sampled while considering the relative merits of Cornish versus Devonshire clotted cream. I am not absolutely certain we were able to reach a definitive answer. I think a few more cream teas will be in order!

These are some of the signs that grabbed my attention while on holiday in England, some amusing, some nostalgic and some simply evocative of this country's wonderful style.
