National Cream Tea Day at The Artea Room – A Wonderful Day of Scones, Tea and Smiles
Last Sunday, we joined people across the country in celebrating National Cream Tea Day, and what a lovely day it was!
There's something wonderfully British about sitting down with a warm, freshly baked scone, a generous helping of clotted cream (or whipped vanilla coconut cream), plenty of strawberry jam and, of course, a proper pot of tea. Judging by the smiles around the tearoom, we weren't the only ones who thought so.
