A Downton Tea



I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE THAT, LIKE MYSELF, 
ARE SAD TO SEE THE SIX YEAR RUNNING OF
DOWNTON ABBEY REACH IT'S ENDING!!

                             
PLAY MUSIC:
                      

WE KNEW THAT THE SHOW WAS DUE TO END
FOR A WHOLE YEAR AS WE ANTICIPATED
HOW JULIAN FELLOWES WOULD TIE THINGS UP!


SO AS THE LAST DAY FINALE APPROACHED,
I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FUN TO HAVE
A TEA DURING THE FINAL EPISODE!

SO WE VISITED A LOVELY GLUTEN FREE BAKERY
AND PICKED OUT SOME GOODIES!!!







THERE WERE MANY DELECTABLE THINGS TO CHOOSE
AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS ALWAYS SO NICE !!




AND THEN THE NEXT STOP ;
"THE ENGLISH ROSE TEA SHOPPE"




                                                    

                                             



                                                    

WHAT A LOVELY PLACE!! SO MANY THINGS TO
LOOK AT AND SMELL AND TOUCH!



EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK THERE IS 
SOMETHING TO DELIGHT THE EYE!







THEY HAD A DOWNTON ABBEY TEA LINE!
(SO WE BOUGHT TWO TINS TO TRY)



















THERE WAS LOVELY HAMMERED DULCIMER
MUSIC COMING FROM THIS !





I ALSO CHOSE SOME "FANCY GOODS"  TO BRING 
HOME ALONG WITH THE TEA TINS

Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper
and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.
