First of all I would like to point out that my last post was number 314. It should have been about pi. Oh well.

And now to the real point of my post.

This afternoon my mother and I took a day trip up to Vancouver, B.C. We took the opportunity to have High Tea at the Secret Garden Tea Co. Upon first arriving, we took in the cozy atmosphere created by warm lighting and soft music playing. We were given a large list of different teas to choose from. My mom and I both decided on the “Secret Garden Secret”. This tea was vanilla with a ‘secret’ in it. It was kind of fruity.

They soon brought us our tea and asked if we had any eating preferences. They were more than willing to make sure that everything they brought was suitable for you. In efforts to supply me with something other than turkey, they used tuna. (unfortunately, I’d rather have turkey than tuna, but they were so helpful I didn’t want to complain. My mom enjoyed the tuna ones as well. )

The first tier of our treats were many savory bites… mini sandwiches made with croissants, tiny ham and cheese sandwiches and cute rolled egg salad sandwiches. The second tier had cream and jam with cranberry muffins and scones. To top it off, the third tier had lemon tarts, a gingerbread and mango cake, and a chocolate mousse on top of a chocolate cookie.

Every bite was delicious! You know, even though they are so small of treats, when you eat it all, it’s quite filling. Along with enjoying all of these delectable snacks, I had a lovely time chatting and spending time with my mom. ‘Twas an excellent day!
