That's so Posh...

Monday was our day of posh.

We woke up and had a nice leisure morning. I (April) had tea and crumpets...it was great. We then left to meet Claire at her work which was a nice 30 minute walk. We got there early so we found us some coffee and a book store. Oh, I should describe what we were wearing! Since we were going to "posh tea" later in the day we had to look nice, so we did. But we also need comfy shoes beacuse we were walking all day. So we were both in our tennis shoes and I put our nice shoes in my gigantic purse. We looked pretty silly and not very posh.

Once Claire got off work, it was starting to rain. This was really our first rainy day while in the UK. We walked to the local fish and chips store for lunch and we had a side of mushy peas (they looked mushy). After this, Claire took us to her allotment. This is their garden where they grow tons of fresh fruits and veggies. Ok, now on to the poshness...

We went to this place called Hale where supposedly a lot of the football players live. All the girls there dress fancy and have lip injections. The houses are a lot bigger than the normal british home and they don't normally share a wall with anyone (that means it is nice). We had a cup of coffee and did some people watching.

POSH TEA: Claire treated me to posh tea for my birthday. We got on a tram to go to Manchester to this fancy hotel for our tea. It was so nice! The tea room was beautiful in every way. The waiters put our napkins in our laps and brought out the tea pots. Ok, now when they started bringing the food out it was truly amazing. First, little sandwiches (salmon, cucumber, ham, tomato...), followed by scones with clotted cream and jam (I think this was our favorite, that clotted cream was great), followed by dessert. We felt like little ticks after we were done eating, but it was a great and fun experience. As you can see from the "after" picture, we finished everything on the table!!!!!

The night ended with some wedding talk and more of Paul and his awesome american accent. Enjoyable day.

Up next the Scotland tale...
