this month we've been testing and have LOVED bulletproof!

Upgraded Coffee

Friday, May 20

Imogen's birthday aternoon tea at Swissôtel The Howard (finally!)


Imogen resplendent in all her afternoon tea glory! I actually booked this for us way back in November (her birthday is in March) and have been patiently waiting our date.  Not often these days that we can grab an hour (well, it was 3 hours!) on our own anymore!  It was such a lovely few hours to catch up, talk about everything under the sun and have a good giggle together.

We didn't manage to get through all of it- but we did make a dent. Thankfully they were well equipped with takeaway purses for us. 

 
These were the main plates- and I had the most scrummy pomegranate oolong tea at the urging and  suggestion of our waiter (he said 'it's my favourite' so I said we'd give him out verdict afterwards).  
I drank TWO pots of it! Yum.

...and then these biscuits and chocolates were the finale.  We didn't even touch this plate! Our waiter said most people don't so he was well prepared for us to 'take away'.  
They were shortbread, white chocolate and dark chocolate with flavoured icing and the river Thames in icing.  Friday night at the pub these went down a treat- even with those who said 'no'- when the cutting up was complete their grubby paws were in there just the same.

I've decided that these sorts of 'treats' need to become more commonplace and not so few and far between!
