More Tea With More Friends

My plans with Charlotte for us to spend a day together in Brighton coincided with Felicia's last day in England, which was more than perfect because it meant one of my oldest friends got to meet one of my new(ish) friends, which is always exciting.

We lucked into a non-rainy day in Brighton that wasn't too cold either, so as soon as Felicia and I met Charlotte at the station we walked through town to Blackbird Tea Rooms (again!) for tea and cake.

Three pots of English Breakfast, three different cakes, and lots of catching up and baby questions and getting to know each others later, we spent the rest of the afternoon popping in and out of Brighton's charming shops and chattering away to one another.

We stopped for a bit of late lunch at Little Bird (apparently we were on a bird themed food tour of Brighton), and then took some photos on one of the cute and colorful Brighton streets.

It's so nice when friends from different parts of the world and walks of life get to meet - nice and also a bit surreal. Who would have thought that my sixth grade bestie would meet my first ever blogging friend? Life is funny like that, in the best way,

Blackbird Tea Rooms

Hi!

Long time no see. I'm sorry! Bad blogger *taps hand*

My friend Felicia is visiting from Montreal. We haven't seen each other in three years. We met in grade six and I told her I didn't like her because she wore a dress. And now we're forever besties. Sorry Felicia, your dress was probably a lot cooler than my orange hair.

Since Felicia hasn't been to England before, we've been doing ALL the British things. Fish & chips, London touristy bits, walks by the seaside, and, of course, lots of tea and cake. I've got loads of snaps from all our other adventures that I'll share, but for now I'm going to talk about Blackbird Tea Rooms in Brighton.

A few people suggesting I go here during my time in Brighton. and after checking out the website I was sold. A vintage tearoom in the heart of Brighton? Hello, I'm there.

We ordered cream teas (can you believe I've not had one since being back this year..) and quite quickly our giant fluffy scones and pots of English Breakfast arrived at the table, served by a cute waitress in a little white apron.

I loaded my scone (skon, scOHne? I've being saying "skon" a lot more recently for whatever reason.) up with not a small smear of jam and cream and tucked in. We both agreed they were delicious and really had no troubles finishing while catching up and checking out the cute vintage decor all around us. And admiring the mahoosive cakes on the counter.

Even the outdoor garden was adorable, and after a trip to the toilet myself I forced Felicia to go and snap pictures of both the garden and the cute toilet decor (as you do).

Right, I've got plenty more posts to share this week so stay tuned for more! Also, the focus on my DSLR isn't working so I've had to resort to solely iPhone photos :( And instaxes, actually, so I will share those too!

PS. how do you pronounce scone? :)
