To celebrate they're relationship was a luxurious trip to a Betty's tea room. The brand is formally known as Betty's of Harrogate but their tea rooms are across Yorkshire, 2 of which are in York.
If one is attending a Betty's tea room, one must dress appropriately.
Well, that's not literally the case but so few people do so, my friends stood out and people turned at their splendour. Again, not literally but a 3 piece suit alongside a formal dress with high heels, is not often seen during the day!
It seems a custom to order afternoon tea in such a setting.
Dainty sandwiches with small cakes and buns and a freshly made scone, with homemade jam and whipped cream, welcomed us.
The tea was of the loose leaf variety and a traditional tea strainer was of course in order.
Tea in an atmosphere such as Betty's will be of the utmost English tradition. My friends and I expected nothing less and they received nothing less.
Not everyday is a celebration. Birthday's come and go, as do weddings, reunions and funerals.
But whatever the reason, celebrate with an open mind and enjoy yourself!
