Tea At 3

Nom nom nom - look at all those wonderful cakes! Yes, they can be yours! This was the selection delivered to me last Friday at The National Dining Rooms, which are part of The National Gallery. Afternoon tea is available from 3pm, and currently costs £14.50, which is well worth it if you fancy an indulgent afternoon of cake eating! My only complaint (if I have to have one) was that the breakfast tea wasn't up to my high standards. The waiter told us that it was made by Peyton and Byrne, but it looked suspiciously like a PG Tips pyramid bag... very odd, but a lovely one-off all the same!

Sleepy Tea

So, without wanting to sound like a hippy - I quite like flavoured tea. One of our friends bought us some sleepy tea (above), which I have been avoiding drinking because I wasn't sure how lavender in tea would work. Lemon, yes. Lavender, no. I'm a bit of an insomniac, and built up the courage to give it a go. It actually tastes nice, and I've been sleeping like a badger in a sett. The tea is made by a company called Today Was Fun, and it contains lemon balm, lime flowers and lavender. If you are struggling to get some Z's in, it might be worth an experiment...
