My name is Mary, age 50 (ahem something) and I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful husband, two handsome strapping sons, 2 sisters, 2 brothers and 2 cats. I also have a 5 nieces (3 of whom are old enough to enjoy a tea too ) and huge circle of girlfriends and now some of their daughters who love to go out and celebrate , and I love to help them !
My first afternoon tea was at the Ritz for my friends 50th in 2006 , and I must admit to thinking "HOW much for sandwiches and cake ?!!" but was totally hooked on the whole experience - (this is me beaming in the middle)
Since then I have been for so many afternoon teas that people are beginning to ask me where I would recommend, so I've had the idea that I should find a place (other than annoying people boasting about them on Facebook) for a while.
An Ex Primary School teacher, in my day job I now train adults and children on using all sorts of technology and software- and recently have been working on a project with some children in Camden on Blogging - and as I was talking to a group of them about the sorts of things you could blog about - your interests, your passions etc one of them asked me if I had a blog - I said no rather sheepishly and another asked me what I would blog about if I did ... and I said ...well probably afternoon tea - all the children were fascinated and, gratifyingly so were all the adults in the room.
So here it is .
Hope you enjoy it - and do let me know if there's somewhere we should try - I'm sure it will be someone's birthday soon !!
Hi Mary! I loved the look of your macaroons but yes those blue ones didn't look very appetizing. What would you rate them out of ten? Please keep posting about your afternoon tea even though it makes me SOO HUNGRY! bye!
