Lock down means Afternoon teas are officially on hold for the foreseeable future, and I cant even invite anyone over for tea. (Thank’s to Boris). But where there is a will, there is a way…… and a big Thank you to all the companies that are now delivering to the doorstep…. And a big Thank you to Afternoon Tea delivered to your Door!!!! EEEEEkkkkkkk. What a time to be Alive! (I think I need to tell the postman about the house on sale on our street- it might make life easier for him. Ooooh and for me.)
Lock down has really helped businesses innovate, and Afternoon Tea delivery has got to be the ultimate Innovation! Don’t you think?,Don’t you? It’s a change from the normal fish and chips, and Deliveroo take out orders we order, and it can also be a special gift to give someone you love. Someone else who loves Afternoon Tea as much as me!
So the plan for today…… to go through my favourite Afternoon Teas delivered to your Door
