On a warm Sunday afternoon we decided to participate in a very British activity - afternoon tea! It was the first time Oliver and William had been for afternoon tea and the setting couldn't have been more perfect. We were sitting outside on a sunny terrace on the Bund over looking the river and Pudong (East of the river).
We were offered a choice of tea and Sam and I decided to stick to Earl Grey whilst William and Oliver selected Jasmine tea!
The table was laid with an assortment of fine bone china and cake stands arrived full of sandwiches, cakes and of course, scones with cream and jam. Everything was delicious and even though the cream wasn't clotted it wasn't too bad.
Feeling rather full we walked off our tea with a stroll along the river to catch the boat back to the other side, a very satisfactory way to spend an afternoon! As we went back accross the river it began to get dark and by the time we were off the boat we were able to show Oliver and William the lights of Pudong.
