High tea

On Wednesday, I took Patty (my mother in law) to Lovejoy's tea room in the city. She is a true Anglo-phile, and she was thrilled to discover that such a place existed. Having tea at Lovejoy's is like stepping into a fairy tale - you're 8 years old, hungry and tired, and you walk into a charming, grandmotherly little cottage chock full of lace, crocheted doilies and sweet little English trinkets.  My ex-roommate who's English has assured me that Lovejoy's scones are the real deal, and the Devon cream is fantastic.  Anyone who loves English tea time would love this place to pieces.
