Tea Tour of England: we arrived in London yesterday and toured Windsor Castle before our welcome dinner. After a good night’s sleep, we enjoyed a great breakfast before gathering outside our hotel to await our private mini bus. Surprise! No bus showed up, despite confirming our fully pre-paid booking with me last night. We walked a block to the train station and bought tickets to Bath. This trip includes two train changes…not easy with all our luggage, but everyone was a good sport and some lovely kind people helped us along the way moving our 150 pieces of luggage on and off trains. Just kidding, it was probably only 30 pieces of luggage, but it felt like more. Several trains were canceled, which not only made the trip longer, but also very crowded, as in standing room only. Our tea was able to be rescheduled for late afternoon so it all ended up okay, but what an adventure! I’m so thankful for easygoing, flexible tour participants who kept on smiling! We’ll laugh about it someday! Here’s hoping tomorrow goes a lot smoother!

We would like to invite you to view the new (and final) Downton Abbey film before it is released to the public. Join us on Wednesday, September 10th at the Federal Way Commons Cinemax Theater for an exclusive early screening of the new Downton Abbey movie!
Bring your favorite teacup, as we'll be serving tea, scones, and treats on individual lap trays.
Guests who dress in period costumes can participate in a fun costume contest after the movie, with exciting prizes from the film's promotion company!
The movie begins at 7:00 PM, but be sure to arrive early to check in, pick up your tea tray, and find a seat. Tickets are $35 per person and go on sale this Wednesday, August 27th.
