The most wonderful, whimsical adventure of my trip to London was The Mad Hatter’s Tea at The Sanderson Hotel. The lovely Diana of Pretty Affairs discovered this down-the-rabbit-hole adventure, and we, along with our boys, met at the Sanderson for an afternoon of sweet teas, finger sandwiches and, best of all, Drink Me potion. {For the record, although it didn’t make me any taller, it was very tasty.} It was a bit like getting to live in a storybook for the afternoonall that was missing was a white rabbit rushing around the dining room and I loved every minute of it.
J’ai eu plein d’aventures pendant mon séjour à Londres mais le plus merveilleux, le plus fantaisiste fut The Mad Hatter’s Tea au Sanderson Hotel. Diana, la jolie auteure du blog Pretty Affairs, a découvert cet événement au pays des merveilles, et nous y sommes allées, avec nos copains, pour un après-midi de thés, petit gâteaux et, le meilleur du tout, une potion “drink me” {qui a failli m’agrandir, mais qui était néanmoins délicieuse.} C’était un peu comme si nous avons vécu une conte de fées pendant un  moment – sans le lapin pressé, bien sur – et j’étais ravie.

  17. hey honey, it's so great to see these pics from our afternoon together 🙂 it would have been great if we had gained a few extra inches in height from the 'drink me' pot but never mind..let's just hope they don't end up on our hips! … 😉 i love the last photo so if you don't mind,please email it to me? my Mad Hatter's post will be coming up very soon, for now i have the collage/ design one (check if you can!) …also, today i received my lovely gift, THANK YOU!! 🙂

    Such fun! I have read about this tea at The Sanderson and had been wondering about it for my next London visit. You will know from my blog that I'm a fan of afternoon tea! The sugar in the nusic box is so original.

    looks just gorgeous, Cee! I'm sorry I haven't been around (online) recently. I feel like I've missed a heap of stuff. Thank you for always visitng and leaving such wonderful comments. They really (I know everyone says it, but it's true) make me smile. It's amazing to have you still reading after so many years… and it's only a little blog that I still don't believe people visit, read and comment on. So heart warming. x
