Lake Windermere UK Best Tea Experience

I was lucky enough to have high tea at The Old English Hotel. We were holidaying right on Lake Windermere. Beatrix Potter lived near by and wrote most of her stories based on the animals she met in the lakes district. The swans were so beautiful there, I can see where she got her inspiration. I really enjoyed the high tea at this hotel. The view was amazing. The chairs soooo cushy. The tea just perfect. It is in my top five happy places in the world!

Friends Beautiful Wedding

One of my friends recently got married and I loved the way they decorated. It wasnt your everyday run of the mill boring wedding stuff, roses, cherubs etc. They made most of it themselves. There were bird cages on each table with paper cranes hanging inside. The birdcages were placed on top of circular mirrors which reflected the cranes and made it look magnificant in the candle light. The wedding gift for guests were beautiful little asian containers with almonds inside. Their cake was a krispy kreme cake, really effective and not nearly as dear as a over the top iced cake. (not nearly as yummy either). I loved this wedding. But what made it a happy memory were all their friends and mine sitting around the table having a good old laugh!
