Afternoon Tea in Cambridge!

[@shawnn1412]

Thank you for starting this channel. This is the type of content that drew me to Joel and Lia.

[@TheJoelWood]

Always up for a cream tea!

[@dorothypaul4642]

My favorite channel! I love experiencing your amazing British culture albeit vicariously!

[@rosnenu8148]

afternoon tea seemed much better, fuller, they gave you more stuff, value for money

[@marinaannetoma1268]

That was very educational about afternoon tea and cream tea, one day would love to visit, ive only been to Germany as a child, my mom's German lol, love u guys, enjoying all your channels, love from Florida

[@lynetteballinger9787]

I'm with Lia. Always cream first then jam.🙂

[@anrach579]

Those were the days when we could go out to eat.

[@tellemomma9780]

I love being able to hop around London with u! Love Joel and Lia of course but really love being shown what is in your country and the history is fascinating! Even looking at the way the buildings and streets are made is so fascinating! Thank u so much!

[@angiew4724]

Can’t get enough of you two! Thanks for the video!

[@beverlydust5381]

I have spent the afternoon watching Property Couple and I tried to watch Joel Wood but technical problems and now I have watched Those Two Brits I really enjoyed watching the video of afternoon tea in Britain

[@melindagordon5278]

Love you two!! You ALWAYS put a smile on my face. I don't always comment but believe me when I say I laugh and cry with you both on all your channels. XOXO

[@uwemuller2944]

Very pleasant to join you for the afternoon tea! Earl grey is my favourite too. ☕

[@AgentAO7]

I’m a Cream Tea person as well. I love scones.

[@jinawickedwoman4223]

I enjoy both tea and coffee. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@christinefrazier]

Travel by couch! I miss afternoon tea and london. Thank you for this little escape from madness...

[@deannaeakle8680]

I love watching y’all explore your country. Stay safe over there!

[@kristibunny372]

Soooo nice to just watch some normal! Thank u!

[@SteffyRabbitheart]

I loved this so much. This is why I love the UK.

[@teknekon]

OMG! I was at that tea shop last year! It's wonderful! Really enjoyed the Cambridge series. Thanks! L&C 👍♥️😘🇬🇧

[@billettescrafts]

Love you guys!! Everyone looks on point. “G-L-A-M-O-R- OUS yay... flying first class...” (fergie song)

[@britainonabudget]

This looks lovely! Can’t wait to do this again. ❤️

[@jonaustin5943]

I was going to suggest a review of afternoon tea wherever you happened to visit... a regular feature. Joel loves his sweets and Lia loves her tea!

[@waltmacklin1770]

It was so fun "having" tea and crumpets with you! You two are relaxing to listen to!

[@ibosquez5238]

I reeeealy love this channel. Keep it going guys. You provide an escape from what's going on around us nowadays. 💖💖

[@LeoTheShortGuy]

Whoop whoop. Super fun. My favorite Brits.

[@donniebrooks21]

Day full of content from both!! Cream tea would be perfect for me to experience rather than the full Afternoon tea!! Brilliant!!

[@abbie6495]

yay! i’m so excited to virtually go to tea in cambridge with you two 😂

[@edrisgabo915]

Mr too.

[@stephaniel3032]

Lovely day. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Novaximus]

As an American I am envious of your classic after noon tea sessions. Let's be honest though. It's a luxury. You have to either be retired or well to do to have the time and accommodations to enjoy what really is a simple pleasure. I like it because you're not meant to get full on it. It's not a meal. It's just a nice way to have a mid day break. Collect your thoughts, regain your daily sanity and get back to business. Like a refreshing shower, it just makes you feel like an evolved human again. I just think it's really cool that you guys have this as your thing though. I'm all about this channel by the way. I'd be interested in anything to do with beatles history and the places where they got some of their inspirations from for their music.

[@michaelmullard4292]

The shots of Cambridge and the tea room were lovely! Such a picturesque town and so much history. Proprietor seemed very friendly. Was planning to have afternoon tea with a lady friend around Easter but all of that is up in the air right now! 😢 Hopefully we will all be sprung from our jail cells by then! 🤞Thanks for the lovely tour!

[@edrisgabo915]

All plans Up into the air.Sadly. Maybe one day Everthing will be normal again.

[@Dakota0425]

Aren’t you two so very prim and proper!😂 I love this tea house, so cute. Stay healthy and safe you two🙏😊

[@hotmamat.v9711]

Love 41

[@RaphaelWinters]

Enjoyed this 🤗 Just found your KZbin. Yes please do a video on your favorite black teas and where to purchase them. Thank you 💜

[@thomasconboy4636]

Afternoon tea seems like fun

[@danielmccraven965]

Joel and Lia, i am a loyal follower. Always here for you

[@jamesthomas6322]

Ah! When life was normal. How beautiful. When you return to travel around the UK, please consider visiting Stonehenge, Dover, and Bath. Thank you.

[@edrisgabo915]

And Bristol we have the first suspension bridge in the world. We have markets for almost every day Tue,Thursay,Sat,Subday. Some of the markets dates hindered if eyers. We have cafes,theatres,Ethinc food from everywhere. Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Bristol. 3 Bristol Cathedral. 4 Brunel's SS Great Britain. 5 Llandoger Trow. 6 Clifton Suspension Bridge. 7 Bristol Old City. 8 Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. 9 Blaise Castle House. 10 Cheddar Gorge. Cheddar Gorge. Bristol Old City is a warren of historic buildings from a long stretch of the city's history. St. Stephen's Church on St. Stephen's Avenue is the parish church of Bristol and dates from 1476. Look inside for the tomb of Martin Pring, the discoverer of Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts, and for the colorful effigy of George Snygge. The medieval St. John on the Wall is close by, the last of the many churches once built into the city wall. It is noted for its vaulted crypt and interactive displays added in 2016. It is near St. John's Gate, originally part of the old city wall, famous for its figures of Brennus and Belinus, mythical founders of Bristol, and Christmas Steps, an ancient alleyway paved in 1669 and now lined with antique and souvenir shops.

[@seandesmond5560]

Great video Joel and Lia!!! 👍

[@colleenphillips6103]

Sounds wonderful

[@dr.westwood]

I’ve heard there is a section in Leicester that a huge selection of ethnic shops and restaurants. If you happen to go to Leicester would mind vlogging in that area?

[@ibosquez5238]

I'd like to see that too. Aim the camera at the shop windows so I can see everything.

[@KathySRW]

That sounds like an amazing place.

[@edrisgabo915]

Check my videos. I do that most if the time. Video local places

[@brandirienecker8988]

I really wish we had more places for afternoon tea in the US! I live in MN and The Saint Paul Hotel - a lovely, historic hotel - has a nice afternoon tea, but it is quite difficult to get reservations for at times🥺 It was wonderful to go along with the two of you for a cream tea!😊😚

[@wen33]

I miss normal life. Thank you for the escape!!

[@edrisgabo915]

I do too. Unfortunately, we all do take simple things granted. One day we will get our life back. Keep up good spirits.

[@lyndabond1570]

This was nice 👍. I’m looking forward to seeing more sites when this quarantine is over. Im going to have to make some scones now lol 😂. Very nice video, thank you. 😊

[@edrisgabo915]

Me too.

[@christineallocca7307]

That cream tea you had looked lovely. I'm not sure if we have anything comparable here in the US for clotted cream. I'd be interested in trying it. Looking forward to seeing more travel vlogs when the quarantine is over. Stay safe!❤

[@johnsymons76]

Tried to watch Joel's livestream but that was a fail. This popped up and perked me right up! Thanks for sharing cream tea with us but it just wasn't enough! I am becoming a voracious little piggy during this quarantine. Oink oink. I need those finger sandwiches and the petits fours! Take care guys. 🐖

[@vickinestinghearts9367]

Love having tea!!! Best place so far has been at the Fairmont Empress Hotel, Victoria, BC. So lovely.

[@jillj4186]

Great job! Now I have to go to Harriett's when I come back. I cannot wait. Loving this channel. 👍🏻💜

[@crinkle2649]

Well that was nice and the people working there were very friendly.

[@clumsymumsy2283]

Take us everywhere when you guys are released from quarantine 😊. I love these videos ! 💕 I have a boyfriend who has shiny penny syndrome and I had never heard that saying before - he now hears it regularly, lol 😆! Love you both. Stay healthy. 🐝😊💕🙏

[@SandeepSingh-tr7jy]

Yay another video to brighten up my day. Thanks for uploading 💚

[@ElleS572]

Yay! Tea and coffee time 😃💞

[@tonyaray6498]

Love the vlog! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I hope to visit England someday, I would like afternoon tea, but cream tea sounds wonderful! Love you both!

[@DavidAtchison121]

Go to the Italian cafe in Russell square. I loved it there. They had really good cappuccinos and pastries.

[@MS-ud6bf]

Hey! I'm so glad you guys decided to create this channel!!!! Seeing you guys out and about is the best!!! Anyway, please take me to Liberty London!!! I have been hoping for it ever since your Christmas series a couple of years ago ;) In the future, maybe?? Anyway, love you both!!!! :)

[@markitsche987]

We have Claire stores here as well! I don't know why I got so excited seeing something familiar to me that is in UK also. I don't do contracts. Lol

[@RandomJane104]

I want to try savory. The standard afternoon tea is too sweet for me. I love the scones with clotted cream and jam and little sandwiches but after the first little sweet I'm done..and like "blarg". Cream obviously goes on first then jam.

[@tamaracarter1836]

Hi guys, I’ve just subscribed to this channel and absolutely love the concept! Cambridge is such a beautiful, historic city (have been many times). I just wanted to let you know that I’ve have left 3 large comments on this video about: pretty villages/ towns, medieval cathedrals, historic cities, medieval castles, palaces/ stately homes etc to explore in England (when the world returns to normality)! The only problem is that KZbin seems to have “hidden” them from public view, being flagged as SPAM (due to their length), and sitting in your “junk” mail. I hope you find them useful (and of course actually able to find them)! Take care!

[@chrissyfoley7361]

I wish there were some tea shops in my area. I love all the things you had. I'm looking forward to more adventures when the health crisis is over.

[@poochoes1]

Funny how excited you were for Tea.

[@theOGofREDS]

The phone contracts work the same in the USA. But you can get a budget phone via the prepaid carriers like boost, metro, and cricket. But they're older phones and not the newest. You can always pay out of pocket for an unlocked phone.

[@christinalecce1141]

Thank you for explaining what a cream tea was and the difference between an afternoon tea and cream tea. Who knew?

[@marshaandini4691]

Ah... another lovely place to visit for UK visit next year😊❤

[@margaretalletson84]

I’m a butter first,jam then cream..Those scones looked very good...

[@piratessong5947]

Love the scones and coffee in London, but your scones are much different than in the US, but there so good, stay safe.

[@777snileriver6]

I felt am sitting with my close friends and having a cup of tea with them☕️ Sweeeet✔️🥰

[@malindastevens1016]

Ooooo that looked so yummy! So going to have to look up a scone recipe and see if we have the ingredients to make some. Me and the fiance love to just sit down and relax with a pot of tea either in the morning or afternoon (though we just use Lipton tea bags, nothing fancy lol)

[@edrisgabo915]

Nothing fancy lol

[@flynn1a]

In the 70s I spent a year traveling all over Great Britain (and supposedly attending classes), and I NEVER heard anyone say scone (rhymes with tone). I was told it was scone “rhymes with gone.” Now a lot of people say scone with the long o. I wonder if it has to do with population growth coming from outside Britain (because scone with a long o makes more sense actually).

[@kristingomez6801]

Love it when you do tea videos!! I dream of getting to visit London & take my daughter on one of those double decker busses for afternoon tea! 😍

[@LorraineinPNW]

I've never heard of Cream Tea either. I drink David's Teas daily...mostly loose leaf. I love Earl Grey too! What's your favorite brand, Lia?

[@amyhyde70]

Very nice!!

[@teresajenkins9056]

this was a fun video...loved it...

[@deedeedamnit406]

Looks so good!

[@Diane-zh6eg]

I'll bet you both felt like prison escapees!!! Covert action to have tea and scones!!! Love it!!! Can't wait for your next mission!!!!

[@mplwy]

Love this!

[@miracleshappen1711]

Its interesting that restaurants are still open for dine in people. Here in the states you can only do take away. I'm not sure how nice afternoon tea would be out of a paper cup. I guess they are not mandating social distancing there either???

[@edrisgabo915]

In the UK too most of Restaurant are closed .They do takeaway at least in Bristol city, Southwest of England. MCDONALD'S walk through only.

[@jamese.mambourg]

Loved it!

[@sparksy981]

You say shiny pennie when your distracted, and in US we say squirrel (not sure of spelling it is not my strong point.) It started being used when kids movie "Over the Hedge" came out.

[@shawnmarie459]

Deborah Melendy Oh! I thought it was from the movie "Up".

[@sparksy981]

@@shawnmarie459 li thought it was when the rotty got side tracked while all the animals were in the yard. It is possible im wrong i think i have to watch a couple of movies now its not like i have an exciting life with the virus going around. Lol

[@shawnmarie459]

Certainly possible that I am wrong! I'm not much of a movie buff :(

[@theOGofREDS]

We have Claire's too. Although they were mostly in malls so we have less malls these days.

[@fineassamyfresh2387]

I love when you do afternoon tea videos! When my hubby and I finally travel to England, I'm going to drag him to afternoon tea everywhere 😂 As ling as there's prosecco he'll be fine 🥂

[@edrisgabo915]

Wish you all the luck. Love reading people's comments and learn more .

[@rhiannonmurphy9034]

Thanks for the virtual tea for us. I want to go into a tea room like that😉

[@ibosquez5238]

Great video! Stay safe please. 💖👍

[@wendyl7906]

Very nice my mom was from Cambridge

[@raynemichelle2996]

I love your tour of afternoon tea (aka high tea in the rest of the empire).

[@stevenvarner9806]

I don't buy the latest phone. I just get a used one in good condition, or a refurbished model from a reputable dealer. By the time I need a new phone, the latest and greatest has already been replaced with a new model. This way I can keep using my older network plan.

[@sharonsmith583]

phone contracts have mostly been this way in the US for a couple of years now.

[@jwb52z9]

That's what I thought. I thought it had been this way in the US for 20 years or more, though.

[@jwb52z9]

I could be wrong, but I think that's the way cell phone service has always worked in the US except for the credit score wasn't always important.

[@maureenboyle1926]

Great video again.

[@brandongreer6882]

Lovely afternoon.

[@ホクホクタイガー]

Please come to Tokyo to try their afternoon tea✨🇯🇵 it’s a little bit pricey than those in the UK, but their presentation is absolutely stunning 😍

[@eurow3808]

Interesting that the concept of the newer scheme (not meant in a critical way necessarily) in American phone plans is migrating to the U.K. In my opinion that means higher prices but a more upfront way to do the old style contacts. However Americans are used to having contracts and having to be “locked in” in a sense, and I maybe wrong but I think Europe’s (E.U) greater stance on mobile communication is that it should be accessible and affordable first. Europe’s system for lack of a better terms seemed to be more “free” and simplified. At least when I worked for the u.s. wireless industry. “Just move your SIM card” mentality, it seemed. I remember someone getting mad visiting from being in the U.K. after a few years (u.s native) about how crazy it was to get a phone. That whole process of credit and what not. I imagine a large part of the change to this is that phones have actually increased in price, at least flagship phones.

[@tamaracarter1836]

Hi guys (just subscribed and loving the channel), if you’re interested, here are some ideas for travel (when the world is back to normal). Here are some pretty villages/ towns in different areas of England (West, South, North, East and Central) - you can really see how the architecture changes in each region: *WEST ENGLAND:* *Gloucestershire:* Cirencester Bibury Winchcombe Bourton-on-the-Water Stow-on-the-Wold Chipping Campden Moreton-in-Marsh Stanton Village Painswick Tetbury Lower Slaughter Upper Slaughter Snowshill Village Miserden Village Blockley Village Box Village. *Oxfordshire:* Burford Woodstock Chipping Norton Kingham Village Great Tew Village Dorchester-on-Thames Shilton Village Charlbury Chastleton Village Deddington Swinbrook Village Wallingford Shenington *Wiltshire:* Castle Combe Corsham Bradford-on-Avon Lacock Biddestone Village Malmesbury Sherston Village Steeple Ashton Village Avebury Village Ramsbury Village Broad Chalke Village. *Somerset:* Dunster Axbridge Frome Nunney Wells (Somerset) *officially England’s smallest ‘city’ (includes a beautiful medieval cathedral), but feels like a market town. Bruton Town Shepton Mallet Selworthy Village Glastonbury Town Castle Cary Watchet Town Wincanton Ilminster Porlock Cheddar Village. **Broadway, Worcestershire, is one of my favourite villages in western England - so I though I’d include even though I didn’t do a list for Worcestershire.* *SOUTH ENGLAND:* *Kent:* Chiddingstone Village Chilham Village Sandwich (town) Penshurst Village Biddenden Cranbrook Goudhurst Village Ightham Village Smarden Village Rochester Town Aylesford Sutton Valence Village Hollingbourne Village Tenterden Eynsford Village Elham Village Royal Tunbridge Wells Wingham Village Cobham (Kent). *Dorset:* Corfe Castle Village Milton Abbas Sherborne Abbotsbury Shaftesbury West Lulworth Village Puddletown Blandford Forum Burton Bradstock Village Dorchester Cerne Abbas Village Evershot Village Poole Old Town Briantspuddle Sturminster Newton Village. *Devon:* Clovelly Village Totnes Cockington Village Dartmouth Salcombe Ashburton Branscombe Village Lustleigh Village Chagford Lynton Lynmouth Brixham Beer Village Kingsbridge Topsham Ilfracombe. *Cornwall:* St. Ives Mousehole Polperro Fowey Port Isaac Looe Padstow Falmouth (Town) Liskeard Mevagissey. *Hampshire:* Wherwell Micheldever Lymington New Alresford West Meon Wickham Village Titchfield Village Odiham Bishop’s Waltham East Meon East Stratton Village Chilbolton Village. **Rye, East Sussex, is one of my favourite towns in southern England - so I though I’d include even though I didn’t do a list for East Sussex.* *NORTH ENGLAND:* *North Yorkshire:* Robin Hood’s Bay Staithes Richmond Grassington Malton Helmsley Burnsall Village Whitby Ingleton Village Pateley Bridge Middleham Hawes Thornton-le-Dale Leyburn Osmotherley Village Harrogate Kettlewell Village West Burton Village Hutton-le-Hole Village. *Derbyshire:* Castleton Bakewell Edensor Village Ashford-in-the-Water Village Hartington Village Tideswell Village Youlgreave Village Tissington Village Edale Village Hathersage Village Eyam Village Hayfield. *Cumbria:* Hawkeshead Village Kirkby Lonsdale Keswick Town Kendal (Cumbria) Sedbergh (Town) Cartmel Village Ulverston Bowness-on-Windermere Town Kirkby Stephan Ambleside Windermere Town Cockermouth Town Grange-over-Sands. *Extra towns/ villages that are ‘slightly’ north (as I don’t know another northern county well enough):* Ludlow, Shropshire Haworth, West Yorkshire Uppingham, Rutland Alnwick Town, Northumberland Knutsford, Cheshire Longnor Village, Staffordshire. *EAST ENGLAND:* *Suffolk:* Lavenham Kersey Village Clare Village Chelsworth Flatford Bury St. Edmunds Cavendish Hadleigh East Bergholt Village Boxford Village Woodbridge Coddenham Village Long Melford Thorpeness Village Bungay Southwold Town Wickham Market Polstead Village. *Essex:* Wendens Ambo Saffron Walden Dedham Village Thaxted Clavering Village Castle Hedingham Village Widdington Finchingfield Maldon Wivenhoe Great Dunmow Great Chesterford Village. *Norfolk:* Little Walsingham Blakeney (to see pictures of inside village type “High Street Blakeney”) Burnham Market Elm Hill, Norwich (A well preserved medieval area, that feels like a small town, in the city “Norwich, Norfolk”) Holt Wells-next-to-the-Sea Town King’s Lynn Old Town Cley next to the Sea Aylsham Reepham Holkham Village Wymondham Cromer (old town area) Worstead Village. *Cambridgeshire:* Houghton Village Kimbolton Village Stilton Village Grantchester Village St Ives (Cambridgeshire) Linton Village Hinxton Village Wishbech Georgian (well preserved 18th century section of “Wisbech”) Buckden (Cambridgeshire) Icklton Village. **Stamford, Lincolnshire, is one of my favourite towns in Eastern England - so I though I’d include even though I didn’t do a list for Lincolnshire.* *CENTRAL ENGLAND:* *Buckinghamshire:* Turville Denham Village Amersham West Wycombe Village Fingest Village Little Marlow Long Crendon Stony Stratford Hambleden Village Princes Risborough Little Missenden Great Missenden Village Lillingstone Lovell Marlow. *Surrey:* Shere Lingfield Village Farnham Chiddingfold Village Godstone Village Gomshall Village Guildford Wonersh Village Mickleham Village Godalming Brockham Village Reigate Abinger Hammer Village. *Northamptonshire:* Oundle Collyweston Warkworth Village Apethorpe Village Wadenhoe Village Great Brington Village Geddington Easton on the Hill Towcester Brackley Thrapston Brixworth village. *Warwickshire:* Shipston-on-Stour Warwick Town Welford-on-Avon Village Stratford-Upon-Avon Royal Leamington Spa Little Compton Alcester Long Compton Henley-in-Arden Lower Quinton Village Bidford-on-Avon Luddington Village Preston on Stour. **Woburn Village, Bedfordshire, is one of my favourite villages in Central England - so I though I’d include even though I didn’t do a list for Bedfordshire.*

[@tamaracarter1836]

*Some of the finest Medieval Cathedrals in England (in my opinion):* *Lincoln Cathedral* *world’s tallest building from 1311 - 1548 (when spire collapsed) it was the first building to hold that title since the Great Pyramid of Giza, only one cathedral (so far) has ever managed to surpass its height - Ulm Minster in Germany, one of the highlights inside are the exquisitely carved 14th century choir stalls, the view of the cathedral from the castle is incredible, *Durham Cathedral* *UNESCO world heritage site (along with the castle), one of the finest examples of Norman/ Romanesque architecture in Europe, it is architecturally very important - containing many elements that prove it to have influenced (what would later be created in France) Gothic architecture, *York Minster* *the largest medieval cathedral in the UK, with the “Great East Window” having the largest expanse (in a single window) of medieval stained glass in the world, plus very important 11th-15th century stained glass to be found elsewhere in the cathedral, *Ely Cathedral* *a unique and striking building, due in part to the mix of gothic and Romanesque on its exterior - that gives it an almost “castle-like” appearance. The originality continues inside, with the highest medieval church nave in England, beautifully painted ceilings and of course the gravity-defying central octagonal tower, *Canterbury Cathedral* *UNESCO world heritage site (along with other medieval buildings in the city), UK’s oldest cathedral in terms of when it was founded (founded in the year 597, present building started in 1070) and holds very important 12th-15th century medieval stained glass, *Salisbury Cathedral* *tallest medieval cathedral in the UK, contains one of the oldest working clocks in the world (dated to 1386) and the best preserved (of the 4 in existence) copy of the Magna Carta (written in 1215), it is unique as the majority was built within such a short space of time (1220-1258), so has a remarkably uniform exterior, *Wells Cathedral* *it has many points of interest: 300 original medieval statues on the west front, extremely unique mid-14th century “scissor-arches”, and a substantial collection of medieval glass. It is also said to be the first ‘100% pure’ gothic cathedral in the world (being built in the gothic style ‘from foundations’ in 1175 - therefore without a preexisting Romanesque structure), you will also find nearby the oldest purely ‘residential’ street in Europe called “Vicars’ Close, Wells”; with all its original buildings still intact (construction started in 1348 and all the buildings were finished by 1430), *Winchester Cathedral* *longest ‘Medieval’ cathedral in the world, it has many surviving elements from 1079 including the haunting crypts (especially when filled with water), the great west window holds a massive expanse of medieval glass that was deliberately smashed in 1642 by Cromwell’s forces, then recovered and reset in an unusual mosaic-like fashion, and of course the view down the longest ‘medieval’ nave is incredible, Jane Austin is also buried here, *Peterborough Cathedral* *known for its famous “West Front”, a very early English Gothic facade which is unrivalled in Gothic architecture, also inside one of 4 remaining decorated medieval wooden cathedral ceilings (built in around 1230) remaining in Europe, *Gloucester Cathedral* *the cathedral cloisters are absolutely stunning and were featured in some of the Harry Potter movies. “The Great East Window” (created 1350), is one of Europe’s finest and the size of a tennis court! Another interesting feature inside the cathedral - the 46 misericords (carved in the 1300’s), depicting a wide array of strange and charming scenes. *Norwich Cathedral* *made of beautiful french Caen stone (Canterbury Cathedral was also built extensively with it), containing beautiful Romanesque interiors from 1096-1145. Has over 1000 painted medieval “bosses” situated on the ceiling vault - an unrivalled treasure, *St Paul’s Cathedral* *not medieval but Sir Christopher Wren’s 17th century baroque masterpiece, 2nd largest cathedral in UK. *Westminster Abbey* *UNESCO world heritage site, along with other buildings nearby. Not technically a cathedral or an Abbey, it has held the coronations of many English Kings/ Queens for over 1000 years; a very important site for this reason with many notable historical figures buried within its walls.

Always thought Cream tea was either scone or cream cake with tea.

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Karen Barclay it’s scone plus clotted cream... the yummiest stuff! Too bad we can’t get it here in the US 😞

[@starwarsgeek88ify]

@@MagentaOtterTravels I thought that was a Devonshire tea!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Karen Barclay when Im in Devon they proudly call it a Devonshire Cream Tea. Elsewhere they call the same thing simply “cream tea” 😉

[@MaryMary-pr4iu]

I was gonna ask why they serve coffee at a tea place (was genuinely perplexed), but then I thought, well, coffee houses sell tea. But still, that blew my mind for a moment there.

[@performingartseducator]

❤️ this channel.

[@markchristensen23]

I prefer to put the cream on first, too, because I want the cream to be warmer than the fruit.

[@lorilaruehueg1006]

Ahh, this would be a great way to to spend the afternoon. 🍵 Sadly no scones in my American emojis😔🤭

[@scoobysnacks]

You don't have to finance the phone over the term of the contract. You can purchase the phone outright and it's usually cheaper than financing it. The only reason you are stuck in a contract is because you financed the phone instead of just buying it. You also don't need a credit score if you're not financing the phone. They had these plans for a long time in the US. It's great for people who don't have the $700-$1100 to lay out for a phone all at once.
