Tea, sandwiches, crumpets, cakes and other sweet things... afternoon tea. Best served around 3pm, can also be served with wine instead of tea but it’s still afternoon tea.

OK so if one was invited to afternoon Tea, could wind up with more than just tea, best not to eat before going. 😉

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThanks, I am beginning to learn how it all works, obviously England is one of the places I haven't been to. I am not a world traveler like Trev and a few others on here.
