Afternoon Tea

After a wonderful boat tour around the islands of Loch Lomond, the entire family was able to enjoy a proper British afternoon tea.  Each kid had to take a least one bite of everything on the plate, and thankfully each bite was able to stay down (we had a close call with Emily but she muscled through).  There were even a couple of "Uh, it's okay" comments so I consider it to have been a success.  Not every kid can say they've experienced afternoon tea in Scotland, that's for sure, so I'm glad we did it.  Personally, I am appreciating more and more a spot of tea and a scone smothered in cream and jam in the afternoon as a treat.  Need to consider instituting this into my everyday schedule when I return home.  Don't be surprised if you are invited to join me on occasion.  Baking light and flaky scones at 6,000 feet above sea level...that will be my next challenge!  Cheers for a lovely week ahead!
