A Christmas Present to Me from Me!

While recently reading Lady Carnarvon's blog [which is always a great read], I decided to buy her latest book, At Home at Highclere - Entertaining at the Real Downton Abbey.   It arrived in yesterday's mail.  I can hardly wait until I have time to sit down with it over a cup of tea!

As you can see there's a chapter on Afternoon Tea.


~ Gorgeous Color Photos ~
The Drawing Room where many scenes of Downton Abbey were filmed.


~ The Dining Room ~


The 283-page book is filled with history and lots of great recipes, in addition to the beautiful color photographs.
