afternoon tea at Hogwarts

This past Sunday, Stacey and I were invited to have tea at St. Leonard's boarding school where Stacey has been volunteering. As we approached St. Leonard's School, we went through a stone gateway and down a driveway to a large, stone house. The Deputy Headmistress greeted us at the door and ushered us into the main room. We were served tea, fruit cake, and mince pies. The girls were all very nice and well behaved. The house was filled with old, formal furniture and large paintings. It was one of the most British experiences that I have had up to this point. I felt like I was at Hogwarts and Harry Potter would fly around the corner at any moment.
