Everything on the stand is edible - the Big Ben lemon curd tart, the white chocolate Gherkin was filled with dark chocolate ganache and the red phone box was filled with rhubarb mousse (but was a bit wobbly in the heat). Highly recommended. Where in the world is your favourite high tea?

🐘 WORLD ELEPHANT DAY 🐘
Today we would like to applaud and thank Intrepid Travel for standing up against Elephant tourism, making a change and growing the awareness for these beautiful animals.
You’re not alone if you’ve ever ridden an elephant – I did it back in 2010 when I was on a family holiday in Bali. This was before I had learned about the cruelty that goes on behind the scenes, with elephants being taken from the wild and put in chains. What’s your elephant story? Join the conversation and movement to #StopElephantRides and #BeKind to elephants this World Elephant Day. #worldelephantday
