Time for tea...

 

Tea time has never been so popular, and we have some lovely tearooms here in Stoneygate to tempt you.
Make a date at Lockwoods Tea Room or Time & Place for traditional tea & cakes...
OR
If your hosting your very own high tea then Powder Blue has some great throw away crockery made to make life easy.  Although these items are designed to be throw away, you can up-cycle them after and use them as jewellery or trinket displays - they are just too lovely to bin.
