It was a really nice scone and the first time I’ve had one with that combination. It was probably the best item from the afternoon tea. I do miss clotted cream though. I don’t often have white chocolate drinks but I thought I’d have a change. The glue was edible but was quite sticky and unpleasant as it was on all the desserts which I don’t think was really necessary in my opinion. I’ve been meaning to go to Cordis for a while but wanted to wait until they had a menu I particularly liked as they change it quite regularly.

Thanks it's nice to know you enjoy watching the afternoon tea videos. Hopefully you can tell I enjoy doing them. Thanks for the support! 🤗

Unfortunately that isn’t true. They have rules on what type of products they can ship to different countries. It’s about £40 to ship to NZ but certain products/categories they can’t ship due to import/export rules, biosecurity and international brand restrictions. This applies with various international countries. I have a F&M playlist that also has unboxing videos on things I’ve ordered online - kzbin.info/aero/PLMc2PYLCYJBNqry5jS72rtf2IKv3CJL_d

I really did love Stamford and will plan to head back when I’m next back.

I love going to different countries and seeing what speciality food and different brands they have. I have some other food vlogs coming other nationalities that has been an experience. Thanks for watching!

Yep it’s not the cheapest supermarket in NZ. I did also get some imported items and in general you pay between double or triple the price to what they cost in UK. But I do love a naughty treat. The Mr Kipling French fancies were delicious 😋

That’s really interesting. Whenever I go into the supermarket I always have a list. If I ever go into a supermarket hungry, I do always get swayed by the odd naughty cake/brownies. I’m all for the odd treats in life though and love a gorgeous afternoon tea 😋

@@josatkinThe reason fruit and veg is first is to make you think of it as a place full of wholesome food. They have a lot of tricks to keep you in the store longer cos the longer you are there the more you spend. That’s why they move stuff around so you spend time hunting for things. The environment is created to make you relaxed ( lighting, colours etc) so you will spend more. Most people know about eye level but they also put things attractive to children at their level. They use social issues to promote spending like a box for groceries for the poor. Loyalty cards are designed to find out about our shopping habits. I don’t know if you have Aldi and Lidl but they are a far more straightforward proposition.

@@jontalbot1 Yes I remember watching a documentary when I lived back in the UK about how supermarkets are designed and engage customers - it was fascinating! We have Lidl & Aldi in the UK but I've never actually shopped there. I will be doing other UK food vlogs when I fly back over there as I'm curious to see if I'd like them. I used to shop in Morrisons many years ago when I lived in another city as it was the nearest supermarket to where I was living at the time. Thanks for the insight and ongoing support with my channel! 🤗

I do like prawn cocktail walkers crisps, frazzles and a pickled onion monster munch 😋 I also have a dehumidifier (and used to even have two of them) but you still really need DampRid on top of that.

@@josatkin That's insane. I need to have a humidifier because rooms can get very dry where I live and you need 2 dehumidifiers. I guess the bright side of humid climates is people don't really suffer from dry skin.

@@Enig_Mata it’s winter in NZ so lots of rain/moisture

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it 🤗👌

Hi Judy, ok great that’s useful to know. Thanks. Have a great week! 🤗

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the food tour. 🤗

Thanks but I don’t require your services.

Thanks. I’m really glad you found the video helpful! Have a lovely weekend! 🤗

That’s really nice. I do like to visit new places around the world! Thanks for the support! 🤗

@@josatkin I meant to say New Zealand not England. Lol. ( it’s David’s wife) I love your tea room videos!

@@davidwright8850 Hi. It’s nice to know you enjoy my videos. Thanks so much! 🤗

I was pretty impressed with the variety they had tbh. They had the best choice compared to the other main NZ supermarkets when I was filming. Thanks for watching! 🤗

It was a really nice cookie but it was a pretty good size. The cats were so cute and I fell in love with Prince Winter but Molly was not impressed when I got home covered in other cat scent. Thanks for the ongoing support with my channel! 🤗

@@josatkin Dear Jos: If I remember correctly you said you wanted to adopt a cat but then you added "I am allowed only one cat" How is that possible? I assume you are renting. Landlords do not usually allow pets but one more cat would not make a big difference, it is ridiculous!

@@arslongavitabrevis5136 yes I lease my apartment. The lease only allows for Miss Molly. Probably a good idea otherwise I’d have 10 cats by now 😂

Thanks. It’s such a beautiful place…even on a dark windy day. I hope you have a lovely week! 🤗

OMG I love the idea of taking your own cat to make friends…. Such a sweet idea. Molly gets quite scared easily though so probably wouldn’t work for her. I loved Prince Winter so much. Absolutely gorgeous cat but then I would have them all if I could. Have a lovely week! 🤗

@@josatkin you have a great week too.!

Thanks for the support! Have a lovely week! 🤗

Thanks I’m glad it was helpful. I appreciate your support. Have a lovely week! 🤗

Thanks I’m glad you find the different shops interesting. I just need to learn to not do food shopping on an empty stomach otherwise I spent twice as much 🤦‍♀️ Thanks for the support!

Hi. Which Pac and Save did you go to?

@@peterrobinson9300 Hi Peter, I went to one in Auckland. Thanks for watching! 🤗

Thanks that’s super helpful 👌🤗

I do really like making my brownies with Whittakers chocolate. I like the variety of flavours...have you tried Hokey pokey Whittakers Chocolate? It's pretty good! 😋

Thanks I’m glad you found the video useful. I always like to see what other countries have in terms of different food and brands. Thanks for the support! 🤗

Yep and so tasty too. The box of Jaffa cakes didn’t last long 😋

I do really enjoy going around the markets and I love the vibe there. It can get crazy busy at peak times. Thanks for watching! 🤗

That's useful to know 🤔 So in Oregon, are the lanes in the warehouse in specific categories? Thanks for watching and have a lovely week! 🤗

Yes it’s dangerous to go around Fortnum and Mason as I often can’t resist some of the treats when I go in 😋

I actually find it quite good for grab and go bits for lunch. There is always something new to try! 🤗

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and hope it helped show the items in detail. I love duck so I will check out the place when I next pop into Borough Market and let you know what I think. 🤔

Thank and I appreciate the support! Have a great weekend! 🤗

I’m glad you and your Mum had a lovely experience which is great. Unfortunately the unwelcome experience I had, started when I was met at my car before I even got out and continued throughout which was a real shame and quite unexpected. Everyone has an off day and understandable but it’s a shame that I had it from multiple staff members as soon as I pulled up. Did you have a fave sandwich? I thought the views outside were stunning too. Thanks for watching and the support! Have a lovely week! 🤗

Thanks Jess, I’m glad you found it really relaxing. 🤗

Thanks I had a really lovely and relaxing time. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 🤗

I thought for the price at about £20 was nice. It is a more basic afternoon tea compared to the London luxe hotels but I found the host really welcoming and I loved the different character style of the estate which makes a change from the more standard hotel spaces. I did miss the clotted cream and a good crisp & glossy scone though. I have so many afternoon teas coming up in NZ and overseas that I will get my clotted cream fix soon enough. I hope you have an amazing week! 🤗

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Have a lovely week! 🤗

I'm glad it helped as I've been asked quite often what I think about both places so thought I would do a video on it. They're my personal experiences but I hope it was beneficial. Thanks for watching!

@@josatkin You have a real collection of afternoon teas! I plan to watch every one of them, and I'm sure I will be giving you a thumbs up on each one. Thanks for the reply!

@@otterlips8414 Thanks for the support that's really lovely. Have a nice weekend where ever you're based! 🤗

Yes the items were very small but well put together. I thought the service from all the staff was excellent too. Very relaxed and the only place I've been given a paper and told to relax into an afternoon tea. I was made to feel very welcome which isn't always the case with going to afternoon teas.

They have quite a lot of choice and so many lovely things to try.

Oh that’s such a shame you had that experience. I have been to other places for afternoon tea and felt quite unwelcome and it can ruin the special experience. I do hope the rest of your trip in London/UK did improve?

I’m struggling to find one as it also needs to not be too big. I was expecting to at least find cake tins/baking trays etc and really needed to get a mirror so wasn’t as successful a trip as I was hoping for. I was good and didn’t buy any baked goods which in itself was an achievement though 😂💪

Thanks for watching! 🤗
