Indulging in afternoon tea and meeting lots of fabulous new people are definitely key ingredients to the perfect Sunday afternoon, of which I had a few days ago!
Kelly from aroundtheworldin80pairsofshoes orgainisined a get together for the regular bloggers of Travel Link Up.
Destination: Browns Hotel in Mayfair
Agenda: Eat, drink and chat away!!
On arrival we were led to our own private room in the hotel, the stunning Roosevelt Room and instantly handed a glass of Ruinart champagne (who could resist!)

Slowly sipping bubbles (I'd had a slightly heavy Saturday night) I got chatting to some really interesting bloggers, finding lots out about them and of course their blogs! Once we sat down our own personal wait staff (who were wonderful I might add) brought out the afternoon tea stands and with a rather rumbling tummy, I couldn't wait to get stuck in! First up was the selection of finger sandwiches, the traditional salmon, egg and cress and my favourite of the day- cucumber with cream cheese and a hint of mint! Even better still, the sandwiches were replenished a number of times during our sitting!

Following on from the sandwiches was the sweets, which nearly looked too good to eat... I said nearly! They consisted of a batten-burg, carrot cake, a delicious chocolate and pistachio tart and a delicate but tangy lemon macaroon! Once again, the trays of sweets just kept coming!

Of course, no afternoon tea is complete without scones! Served alongside a traditional English Breakfast blend, I opted for a fruit scone and piled it high with fresh clotted cream and chunky, home-made strawberry jam!
Not only was the afternoon filled with delicious food and plenty of champagne, it was also filled with great company and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know so many great bloggers! Many thanks to Kelly for orgainising such a splendid day! Already looking forward to the next one...
