Editor's Note
We hope to see many of you at the Antiques Roadshow at the Baltimore Convention Center on June 16! Everyone here is eagerly anticipating all of the excitement that surrounds this event. When the Antiques Roadshow came to Baltimore about 10 years ago, we had great fun with all the folks who brought their treasures and with the staff of the Roadshow. We can hardly wait for the day to come again!
A special treat is in store for you in this issue. Our very own Heather had Tea with the Queen when she was here visiting in the States. Heather wrote an article telling us about it. No pictures were allowed but when you read what Heather has to tell us you will feel like were there!
The Afternoon Teaisms section this month is a little different. We show you the actual invitation to the Tea and the menu that was served. We thought you'd be interested in seeing this.
There are so many good programs on this month. In the Tea News Bits we tell you about some of them. Little Britain? We also tell you about what city is trying to have a section designated with this moniker.
An interview with Clive Swift is in this edition for your reading enjoyment. Otherwise known as Richard Bucket, Mr. Swift fills in some of the areas that we've been asked about - like what happened to the first Rose. He also discusses what it was like to have such a grueling schedule, and of, course, what it was like to work with Patricia Rutledge.
Two recipes are included this month - one seasonal and one totally British since the Queen served it at her Tea. Try one - or both!
Have a great summer!
