Such a lot of time, love and effort went in to sip and sparkle this afternoon. The attention to detail was wonderful. Lemon trees positevely thriving in Speen's balmy climate, our very onwn quartet to entertain us with well known pieces of music, chintzy crockery, starched tablecloths, fresh flowers, attentive waitresses dressed in traditional black and white and the most delicious sandwiches and cakes. Thank you for all your hard work and thought that went in to making it another very special event. You're all brilliant people! Clare

Thought the SHH/Festival "Posh Tea" was terrific! The quartet, the matching china, the lace tablecloths and seat covers plus excellent sandwiches and cakes made it very special. Must have taken ages to prep. Thank you SHH team, ixx. Irene
