Valentines afternoon tea at home

February 14th Valentines Day 

 For the past few years my husband and I have gone to a posh swanky hotel in London for a valentines afternoon tea so this year we are having to settle for an afternoon tea at home. 

Last year we went to lanes of London for there free flowing botanical afternoon tea which was very nice. I do like having a glass of bubbles or two with my afternoon tea . I have 2 bottles of chapel down English sparking rose chilling in wine cooler ready to open. We brought a box of 6 bottles in the summer when we visited the chapel down vineyard in Kent. Which if you like your wine is well worth a visit for a tour and tasting session 

I have been planning the below menu for past few weeks. 

Afternoon Tea 

Sausage roll wreath left over from Christmas and frozen 

Goats cheese and caramelised onion tart from Morrison the best range

It was a lovely family Valentines afternoon tea with Hubby , Daughter and my 15 year old  son who actually ventured out of his room and turned off his computer for a few hours !!!!!!
