Bath is very, very proud of Jane Austen (she lived here from 1800 and wrote her most famous novels from here). I found a 2-for-1 deal for Jane Austen's Regency Tea Rooms where we enjoyed…
… Lady Catherine's Proper Tea!
Here's G sitting like Lord Muck next to the portraits of Darcy (out of this photo). You can see in the background that the tea rooms aren't particularly big, but it was absolutely packed the whole time we were there! Also, g's sunglasses have just reminded me that it was pourrring with rain outside! We got quite wet wandering around from the baths to the tea rooms 🙂
It was very pretty! Lovely colours, lovely service, lovely scones…
Mmm, guess who had the coffee pot.
And I found some more sugar cubes! Although these were less cubes and more lumps. You had to guess how many spoons of sugar each lump would be… I had one lump, in case you were wondering.
We each got two massive scones. If we had known, we would have ordered two servings between us!
The scones came with a giant pot of jam and clotted cream. Yum! Mom described clotted cream as cream-flavoured butter. They also make ice-cream out of clotted cream which is THE BEST ice-cream in the world, in my opinion thus far. Although Italy's spoils still await!
… and did I mention that the tea was served by real teagirls in real teagirl outfits?
