It was especially interesting for me to attend the tea since one of the hospitals I volunteered at had their own weekly high tea that was served to patients going through chemotherapy. Our high tea was very special and the patients really looked forward to it. We had home-made clotted cream that we made and gave out. I was surprised to see that the British clotted cream tastes quite different. Ours was sweeter and more like whipped cream, while the one here is saltier and more like butter. Both are tasty in their own way.

Having a traditional British High Tea was on my list of things to do, so it was great to do it through CAPA!
