Leah and I went to the Orangery! (In Kensington Gardens) Leah treated me to what she called High Tea which I'm pretty sure is just another phrase for Afternoon Tea. Our lunch involved a three tiered tray that was brought out and a pot of Tea each! I had earl gray, and Leah had a lovely cinnamon blend. The tiered tray's bottom level had finger sandwiches - cucumber, salmon, ham - all delicious. The middle tier had a scone, and the top tier had a puffed pastry filled with creme and a citrus tart. The tea pot came with a strainer and sugar cubes! It was so exquisite and I really enjoyed it. Certainly a ritual I would like to bring back with me.

In 1961, Walt Disney released the animated classic One Hundred and One Dalmatians - based on a novel by Dodie Smith. The story takes place in London, England, and the Twilight Bark is featured as the method of communication used by the dogs to rescue their stolen puppies.
This blog has nothing to do with Dalmatian puppies, I am afraid. Though, it has everything to do with London. Follow me as I spend the next four months exploring Europe as a student and member of the work force.
