Quintessentially British: What makes the perfect afternoon tea?

Dec 17 2021

I have been living in London almost 24 years and as an Italian I have come to appreciate the most quintessentially British tradition of all: Afternoon Tea.

What makes the perfect afternoon tea?

A traditional Afternoon Tea menu consists of quality teas, champagne, light cakes, scones with butter, jam and clotted cream as well as finger sandwiches. Traditional sandwich fillings are often cucumber, smoked salmon, tuna, coronation chicken or egg mayonnaise. They are always served with the crusts cut off. They are served on a three tier cake stand: the bottom tier holds the savoury food, the middle and the top tiers pastries and petits fours. On a special separate basket the scones are served hot.

Christmas Gift idea: The world’s 1st flying Santa’s Drone is coming to town

Dec 17 2021

Here’s for a fun and quirky last minute present to a geeky child: Santa’s Drone, i.e. the world’s first flying Santa – and his very own reindeers – drone has landed in the UK.

If you can bear the sound of a buzzing device on Christmas day, this drone will provide hours of entertainment for parents and kids over the festive season. It might be just a nerdy device, but for time deprived parents it is an ideal babysitter.

This is an easy-to-operate drone. Children are very good with technology and will be showing you mums and dads how to make this little flying object fly around.
