After trying on different combinations of clothing and trying to find a pair of pantyhose that wasn't laddered, four beautiful ladies watlzed into the Savoy! For a change we found ourselves running ahead of schedule ... so what else are we destined to do while we wait ... why of course check out the state of the loos, apply some more lippy, and take a few photos of us draped over the furtinure (much to our amusement as the old man was so blind he couldn't see through the camera view, would count us then say he could only see three of us through the camera, oh my lord!)
Anyway ... dead on 2.30 we bee lined it to the desk to be seated. Whist our napkins were gracefully placed on our laps we dined (or rather gorged) on scones, jam and clotted cream, a fine array of slices, pastries and sweets, and not to mention the finger sized sandwiches. We drank copious amounts of tea ... in actual fact I don't believe I have drunken so much tea before.
Well, come close to 4.30 I was rather over tea and asked to see the wine menu. I tried to act calm - you know, as if I am quite used to paying such prices. I had to place the menu back as it was way out of my league. Well the nice old waiter must of noticed me doing so and came up to me and asked me what I would like. I told him quite honestly that I'm sorry but I can't afford anything on the menu. He then asked me again, what did I want? Champagne or white wine?. I again told him I was too poor to afford either of these. He then asked me again 'What would you really like to drink?',. 'White wine was my answer' and so he trotted off and soon returned with four perfectly chilled glasses of white wine. Now I wish I had asked for Champagne but beggers can't be choosers. Well that was the icing on the cake and made our afternoon really.
So that was our lovely afternoon treat out the Savoy. A belated birthday treat for Katrina from Maria.
