This is the cream tea Audrey made
Using my instructions to make a cream tea Audrey, a hard working editor in Canada, made her own cream tea and took an afternoon off to enjoy it. During the day she works hard, slaving over a hot computer helping other writers to become better writers. After she had edited my cream tea page she decided to take a break from the
Writer's Helper
and make a cream tea. It was such a success that Audrey sent me some photos. She then kindly allowed me to use her pictures to share it with you.
She writes: So here I am at the start with the tea cloth trimmed with my grandmother's hand knit lace. My favourite tea cup was a gift from an elderly friend in her late 80s. It's been in her family for a long time. The teapot was a gift from my mother. I ate all my strawberries so had no strawberry jam. Instead I broke open a jar of blueberry jam I was given as a thank you gift. I told the woman who made it that I would save it up for a special occasion. I didn't have any nifty little serving bowls for the jam or cream so I used wineglasses. The napkin is from my time in Ukraine. I drink my tea without milk, lemon or sugar. And I LOVE it! Audrey finished by saying: Thank you for my lovely afternoon break. Wish I could have had you over for this. But I thoroughly enjoyed my lovely interlude in my own back garden, a place I haven't enjoyed nearly enough this summer. I look out over a huge Russian sage bush full of happy bees.
I hope you will join Audrey and I and enjoy making your own cream tea.
Meanwhile, back in England, Elizabeth was enjoying a cream tea with her family.
