Afternoon tea at Claridge’s (Credit: CC/chantalboogers)
Due to a manic week last week, I completely missed the fact that it was National Afternoon Tea Week. Probably the best ‘National (insert noun) Week’ all year and I missed it. Oops.
Most people love a picnic, and personally I think they are one of the best ways to while away a hazy summer’s afternoon. This luxury picnic hamper made of willow, leather and linen is just the ticket. I especially love the mini salt and pepper shakers. Pack into it your mini Victoria sponges, scones and other homemade treats. It’s big enough for several flasks of your chosen afternoon tea blend too.

I was so happy after receiving this gorgeous Whittard teapot and mug set from my Mum as a graduation present, that I thought I’d share a few pictures of the set on Tea and Cake.
