High Tea at Windsor Lakes — 10 Comments

  1. I always find it odd that what the English generally know as afternoon tea is called high tea in North America. In my English childhood, high tea was a light cooked meal, usually for children, at about 6.00 pm as they would not be staying up late for a proper dinner or supper. In some areas of the country, the evening meal is known as tea, rather than dinner or supper.

    • It’s one of the banes of my existence! High Tea is a MEAL, not usually fancy, served when you might have an early dinner (or supper, depending on where you live). But Americans don’t have a different name for Afternoon Tea, they just name it wrong, hahaha. Of course, I might be a tea nerd… you should see me trying to explain to people that the only one who can MAKE Devonshire cream is a cow in Devon!

      • Yep – total tea nerd! And stitching. I think the only other thing I’ve kept hidden is that I can shake my eyeballs (silly childhood trick which is less impressive than I always thought it was, once I saw a video of it, hahahaha)

  2. What a lovely event!! And yes, I love researching, too! I even teach the MLA Research Essay class at Brave Writer, where I have taught for the last 15 years, and I love learning from my students’ essays.

    And researching the teething habits of dragons…that must have been awesome!!

    Have a lovely week!

    Warmly,
    Susanne 🙂

  3. The event looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the photos. So in your research of ‘teething dragons’ did the Komodo dragon come up? Do their young have teething issues?
