VISIT TO COOMBE ABBBEY

Last month we celebrated my Nana's 80th birthday with a trip to Coombe Abbey and this is what happened...
We sat down before our cream tea and had a cheeky sip of pink champagne... yum!



As you can see, I cannot pose for photos as you will see throughout this post.. damn you closed eyes!


The view was pretty incredible too!



We finally sat down and was amazed at all the food! Cheese and pickle sandwiches went down a treat compared to the salmon sandwiches which were left all by there self. Cream tea also included Pimms jelly and also yummy macaroons!






























































As you can see, I was pretty happy with my scones! (PS. I DIDN'T BLINK!!)
The staff also treated my Nana to a lovely plate of macaroons, fudge and white chocolate
to celebrate her birthday (even though she didn't want to be reminded that she was 80!)




After the tasty tea we needed to walk some of it off so luckily the sun was out
so we explored the grounds of Coombe Abbey..



Coombe Abbey is worth a visit just to explore the surroundings alone where the land spreads acres which is perfect for picnicking! Overlooking the lake and gardens the country house is perfect for special occasions or just for a short break away! I have also heard that we may be visiting it again in a few weeks so there best be some macaroons left!!
