High tea

All we knew about today was that Jessica had booked us lunch at 12:15pm. We weren't  sure what to expect so were quite surprised to arrive at Coombe Abbey. It is a magnificent old building with a moat included and lovely grounds that were full of families enjoying the last of the school holidays.  
Strolling in the gardens before our 'high tea'.

The Abbey's history dates back to the 12th century when it was the most influential monastery in the Warwickshire area.       After a walk through some of the gardens we went into the Abbey itself and were treated to a  'High Tea'. What an experience as the photos show. 
All ready to enjoy our selection of treats.
 
 
 
 
The sweets plate which included a chocolate mousse, a lemon cake and chocolate dipped strawberries.
   
We even got a doggy bag to take home for Andrew.
