We like to bake something simple together, often standing chatting by the oven for extra warmth while it bakes!
We set a pretty table and sometimes use a mini tea set for novelty. Sometimes teddies are invited to join us at the table too.
Cameron likes to drink chamomile tea, hot milk with cinnamon and honey or occasionally we make hot chocolate. Rooibos tea is my own favourite.
Last week we went "all out" and made cream teas! They were indulgently delicious and ended up making a mouthwatering blog banner don't you think?!
We bake all kinds of things (as you are witness to here) but scones are such a great store-cupboard recipe because they don't require yeast or eggs, they're so simple to make and they are extremely versatile.
Scones at a tea party are a lovely way to eat home made preserves from the Summer too. Fruity home made jam always ends up steering the table conversation towards warm weather - memories of Summers gone by and our hopes for Summers to come.
I invite you to make a bit of fuss out of afternoon tea one day this week - I can almost guarantee that you wont regret it :o)

Love the new banner - so pretty! Now you have really made me want scones with jam and cream, heaven...
Beautiful scones. Making me really hungry :-)
Thanks everyone - those particular scones were delicious!
Welcome Lauren :o)
Oh tea parties, I so love them. My kids have and I set the table and throw a party many times a week, and I hope that they remember it fondly. Looks like you had a great time, and those treats looks amazing
