World Tour Day Six: Great Britain.
The first time I had scones with real clotted cream and jam was in London at the hotel where we were staying. I was very excited to sit for a proper afternoon tea and enjoy the formality of the tradition. Even though I had eaten a nice lunch not long before, I was determined to have a pot of tea and scones while I was there, hungry or not!
I like a little tradition and I like a little formality now and then, too. I have to say, I get a little frustrated with how casual and informal things have become. I swear I was sitting beside a woman at the movies last night who was wearing her pajamas and bedroom slippers! It just makes me a little uncomfortable. I mean, if you want to watch a movie in your pj’s, get something from the movie store and stay home! I’m really not interested in what you wear to bed.
