AFTERNOON TEA AT LYTHAM HALL

So on a blisteringly hot sunny August Sunday afternoon ten brothers from the Lytham St Annes Circle and their better halves enjoyed a most splendid afternoon tea in the cool Georgian room of Lytham Hall.

The menu included mini roast beef Yorkshires; turkey and stuffing/pork and apple finger sandwiches; broccoli and English Stilton tartlets; soup of the day; mini prawn cocktails; duck and orange pate crostini; clotted cream and jam scone and a selection of desserts and cakes/patisserie, different trifle with as much tea/coffee and water as one liked. In short, enough food to feed the most ravenously hungry of us and for those that found it a little too much some very posh takeaway boxes to continue the afternoon tea at a later time at home although Adrian offered to help a brother in difficulty or need.

Not only was the food and service excellent but the item that made it beyond anything else was the very fine company of the Brothers and their ladies.

This was one of the social events now being arranged by the Circle and was a fabulous success and laid the foundations for more social events outside the boundaries of the monthly meetings.

The only drawback was the schoolboy error of not taking a photograph of all present so for those who were, enjoy the great memory, and for those who couldn’t, just use your imagination!
