One of the highlights of July was my afternoon tea meet-up with some local members of my Canadian card and tea exchange group.
Nicol's Pastry Shop is a family-operated business that specializes in European pastries and cake. The shop recently started offering high tea by reservation only.
Our elegant tea table was set with gorgeous Royal Albert china.

I enjoyed Sloane's delicious "Heavenly Cream"--a smooth black tea with bergamot and vanilla.
The tier stand served delicious afternoon tea for three.
Top tier: Melt-in-your-mouth scones served with Chantilly lace and jam.
Middle tier: Mini pastries for dessert.
Bottom tier: Finger sandwiches (salmon and cucumber) and quiche.
