Our friends had a party last Saturday to celebrate their seventh anniversary. It was a lovely event: well planned out with a delightful theme....but there was no crumpet!

You thought we were talking about tasty totty didn't you? Well, you'd be wrong. This was a very civilised afternoon tea dance with finger food (and we mean actual food!) - e.g. fairy cakes, cucumber sandwiches, rock cakes, Tunnocks tea cakes (with lovely gooey insides), tinned salmon sandwiches and lots and lots of tea. However, there was a lack of that other delicacy associated with English afternoon tea, i.e. the crumpet. But there was so much of all the other treats that perhaps it really didn't matter.

We love it with lashings of melting salted butter and jam, ideally strawberry. How do you like it (we're still talking about crumpet by the way)?
