Page 10 (10/4 Continued) - Rest Time And A Farewell Family Dinner!
We have been on the go so much we needed a few hours of "down time" so we headed to the B&B and had formal tea in the tea room! We were served by the Hocus Pocus team and as an added attraction, we were served a "bat appetizer".
There was a bat on my plate!
Did You Know? - It's said that Afternoon Tea was invented in the 1840s by Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. Anna often found herself feeling hungry in the afternoon, so she asked for a pot of tea and a snack to be arranged for her. Over time, she started inviting her friends to join her – and a tradition was born.
Gail did a great job doing her Hocus Pocus act!
Binx was everywhere!
Did You Know? - High tea, was traditionally served 'High', meaning at a high table with high back chairs. It was typically a substantial meal of meat or fish, bread, vegetables, and tea to drink, and it would feed the gentlemen and women who had been at work all day. Today, we know this as 'dinner' or 'supper'.
