An afternoon for Devonshire Tea

Outside the rain fell and the wind blew past and it was the perfect day for sewing, cleaning and baking.
And was finished off nicely by an afternoon of devonshire tea with my good friend. I was thinking about scones all afternoon yesterday but when I got home I forgot to make them! But was all for the best as they were much nicer with company.

First I made the scones, mmmm straight from the oven

I laid the table all out

I used my special plates. They are very cute, all about bags and just perfect for an afternoon tea.

It was unfortunately too short as we both had to be somewhere but was a lovely hour, just taking a moment to sip some tea, eat scones with jam and cream and have a laugh together.
