Did you know that it's Afternoon Tea Week from Monday 8th August through to Sunday 14th August? 

What an opportunity to celebrate this great event by simply having afternoon tea!  You could create your own and invite friends round, get the kids to do one or you could treat yourself to an Afternoon Tea out!  These aren't membership experiences or subscription gifts, but they give your loved one the chance to get away from it all and the routine of life and just relax for a couple of hours.
