A Dickens Tea

High tea at Dickens Fair

One of the loveliest things about a Victorian holiday party is having tea in the parlor. In this case, at the Dickens family home. The table was laid with buttered scones, jam fingers, little tea sandwiches, and more.

A proper tea isn't just about the food, of course. Good company is key. We so very much enjoyed meeting the Fezziwigs, Clara Peggity, Miss Georgina Hogarth, Davey Copperfield, and Mr. Dickens and his son. Oh - and Mad Sal - once met, never forgotten. Many thanks also to Thomas and the staff.
