You can now have afternoon tea at the House of Commons while Parliament
is in recess during the summer, which sounds rather wonderful to me. So I took
a magazine photograph of the Palace of Westminster tea and a picture of a flowery
Union Jack flag (designed to celebrate 100 years of the Chelsea Flower Show)
and stuck them on a jam jar. I filled the jam jar with bits from the garden –
roses, scabious, orange thyme and chocolate mint. It smelt beautiful.
I found it difficult to get the exposure right because of the white roses, especially when the white roses were positioned on the side.

I have no idea what varieties of tea they serve at the House of
Commons. I suspect they don’t serve
gunpowder tea (which is a real tea; I haven’t just made it up), but if anyone
is lucky enough to have afternoon tea there and discovers that they do serve it, please let me know!
