Just a short drive from my house is the historic, picturesque village of Woburn, apparently, home of 'afternoon tea' as started by Duchess Anna Maria, wife of the seventh Duke at Woburn Abbey in the mid 1800's. On this particular visit, I regret to inform my readers that I declined to attend an afternoon tea. I choose instead, to frequent a more 'common' pass time in a local public house, Black Horse.
Accompanied by my mother and younger sister we spent a happy hour or so enjoying the sunshine, a cider and a platter of exotic nibbles.
Later, we strolled down the wisteria draped main street and stopped for an ice-cream and wondered what it would be like to live in such a place where one could visit Woburn Abbey, explore the open space in Woburn Safari Park and enjoy a round of golf. I shall, henceforth, make an appointment to take afternoon tea in this delightful little village.
