Tuesday afternoon
Great, now I’m going to have that song in my head today. Oh well, it will be a change from Madonna’s Material Girl, which has been running through my head for a week!
Anyway, Tuesday, after our first class, I went back to the hotel and headed to the bar area for High Tea. I had little finger sandwiches (of ham & mustard, smoked salmon & cream cheese, roast beef (withhout the tomato) and I passed on the cucumber sandwich), fruit cake (real, live fruit cake!!) with my scones, devon clotted cream, strawberry jam and tea. It was a perfect snack – a bit heavy, perhaps, but lovely to eat & experience. Now I’m getting ready to head to the evening reception & dinner. I’ve still got a couple of hours before dinner, so I’m sure I’ll be ready for it – despite the big tea – when it is served!

Girl, I hope you are taking long walks everyday to offset all that clotted cream! In all seriousness, sounds like you’re having a wonderful experience. Hoist an ale for me!

In honor of your trip, I’m reading all of your posts with a British accent. It worked out very well today, with phrases like “high tea” and “clotted cream.” Thanks!

Also, I now have “Material Girl” stuck in my head! Gah!

Margaret – I’m walking enough to offset the clotted cream. There aren’t enough hours in the day – even if I walked all of them – to offset the fact that we’re getting dessert at every meal and the food that they are serving is RICH. I’ll make up for it in London, though. No more desserts when I have to pay for them myself!
Tab – sorry – that is a seriously difficult song to get rid of!
