Springtime arrived in Virginia today and the southern belles gathered to toast the great British tradition of high tea. And while sweet potato biscuits were not on the menu, we did sneak in some new favorites including cheddar and dill scones, cucumber tea sandwiches along with smoked salmon and much more. The "ladies-in-waiting" seemed to prefer Sneaky Pete's (made with the universal alcohol of vodka) to the Earl Grey tea with a lump.
Visit our Facebook Fan Page (Royal Wedding Crasher) to view the complete photo album. Here you will see the gorgeous hats designed by the guests and being donated to St. Francis Home here in Richmond. It is our hope that the chapeau's will grace graying hair on the morn of the Royal Wedding. And, much to our surprise Will and Kate were available for photo opps with all the guests. You will see that one of our friends even arrived with her British teeth in place. And, it wasn't surprising that only 2 grand dames donned their gloves. Some southern ladies never forget their manners.
It was a great day and everyone is excited about the upcoming nuptials for Will and Kate. Perhaps more so than our friends across the pond. Perhaps our Sweet Virginia Breeze will sail across the sea and put more romance to our British friends as the day grows closer.
