Aristocratic Norfolk...and tea!

Oh what a week I've had. What started as a somewhat nerve-wracking first meeting of my boyfriend's parents in his native Norfolk turned into a comprehensive tour of great houses in the county.

Thanks to joining the National Trust (and subsequently making our money back from visiting so many sites) we started our week visiting the house of gentry and after working our way through houses, halls and castles, we eventually ended the week visiting the country retreat of Her Majesty The Queen at Sandringham.

Not only did we visit some beautiful places, we made it a ritual to take afternoon tea, albeit in the visitor's cafes and not in the drawing rooms of the houses, but nevertheless my little holiday did become a veritable tea tour of the Norfolk.

Watch this space for posts about my amazing week doing what we British do best...taking tea in some of the most beautiful homes in the country.
