February 11 Tea at Fort Randolph

A wonderful presentation was attended on February 11, 2017 at Fort Randolph. Members were treated to a tea party complete with finger sandwiches, such as ribbon, olive, and cucumber, with tea cakes, crumpets, scones, cream puffs, tea, and mint lemonade. An informative talk was given concerning how a hostess plans a tea, the differences between low tea and high tea, social etiquette for the guests and hostess, tea games, and suitable topics of conversation. “A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards.” (A.A. Milne)
