I had a cream tea in a hotel this afternoon with my pensioners' group, starting with a tour of the historic hotel.
Where we were originally put for the cream tea was too hot for us, with the sun streaming through the glassed in terrace. The only waitress moved everything so that we could be cooler.
The scones were hotel baked and still warm from the oven.
It would have been a great afternoon but my Volvo's immobiliser malfunctioned again despite extensive diagnostic testing during the week - that found nothing wrong. The Automobile Association attended again, but this time they couldn't start it. We were expecting to be 'Relayed' home with the Volvo on the back of a flat bed truck.
But in the wait for the Relay vehicle I fiddled around with the door locking controls and the car started. I called the AA back, told them the car was running and please could they cancel the flat bed. We drove home.
But I would have liked some Literotica company for the cream tea. We had a pianist playing especially for us, great service from the waitress even if there was only one of her, and very good tea (or coffee).
Apart from the car malfunction, the downside was that I was the only person from our group of twenty to give the waitress a tip...
I would have tipped the pianist too, but she had packed up and gone home before we left.
During the tour of the hotel we were told about some famous guests of the past. The hotel ballroom was opened by King Edward VII who had the first dance with his wife, Queen Alexandra. He upset the company by starting the NEXT dance with his then mistress Mrs Keppel. He SHOULD have waited until the fourth or fifth dance before choosing to dance with his mistress!
Queen Alexandra was a very forgiving woman. At King Edward's deathbed he was attended by SEVEN of his mistresses, as well as the Queen.
