…and everyone is invited 🙂
Today is the Mad Tea Party blog hop, hosted by A Fanciful Twist. I hope you enjoy my Tea Party and also stop by the others taking part and have a lot of fun along the way!
All of the guests are arriving for this very important date…
Some arriving in style!
And here comes the Royal Knight – you can’t have an English Tea Party without some Royalty now, can you?
Come in, come in and make yourself comfortable. There is plenty of food to go around!
We have finger sandwiches of tuna and cucumber or egg and cress…
Hand made pork and apple pie from the local butcher…
Then traditional fruit scones from the local farm shop with strawberry and rhubarb preserve or quince and rose petal jelly, perfect for the ladies at the party, and of course some clotted cream!
Are the scones too sweet for you? Not to worry, we have a lovely hand made fruit tea bread that will do just the trick!
If you have room for more why not try the home made fairy cakes – made by fairies, of course!
Or perhaps you would like some home made berry muffins? I’ll be showing everyone how to make these next week too!
Now, we can’t have a good tea party without… TEA! The Royal Knight has been kind enough to bring a special selection, which one shall we choose?
…are you sure that this is tea, Sir?
It seems to be moving…
…no, it’s opening!
Beautiful blooming Jasmine Fairy tea. Now that truly IS tea fit for this magical Tea Party!
Thank you for coming to my English Tea Party, I hope you enjoyed yourself 🙂 Stay a while and chat but make sure to visit the other tea parties along the way too for some more Mad Tea Party fun!
There is so much sweetness around the blogland today I’m sure to gain a couple of pounds. 🙂 Thank you for inviting me!
Oh I love the tea flower! Congrats on your marriage! I just got married as well.
Come visit my party and see!

So sorry I am late
For this important date.
I’m still making my way down the list.
With too little time
I’m leaving this rhyme
For I’m adamant about wanting to persist.
All this running about
Has left me dry in the mouth.
Might I have a cup of tea?
Your fairy cakes
and scones with cream
Are so tempting to me
Oh my, the time
It goes so fast
I must be on my way
But fear not friend
I shall return
Please……Have a beautiful day.
I love that you made fairy cakes. That brings back so many good memories of birthday parties as a kid. 🙂
Thank you for such a lovely english tea party. Come along to mine if you get chance.
