We had a refreshment break after wandering around the gardens at Arley Hall... tea and scones.
Please scroll down a post to view the gardens.
Tea for two...
...a table outside...
...and scones with lashings of cream and strawberry jam.
The sparrows at the restaurant are very cheeky.
...picking up all the tit bits from under the tables...
...even perching on the bench beside me hoping for a feed.
Please scroll down to see my last post for more images of Arley Hall and Gardens.
I also have more images of the flowers and butterflies to share...

They know where the food is!
Delightful tea companions.
I hope you did two more laps of the garden to work off all those calories after that cream tea Andrew. It did look good though!!
Those Sparrows soon learn where there's a chance of free meal!...[;o)
The afternoon tea outside looks great and the cheeky little sparrow look to be a perfect addition.
they're very cute!
Boy that scone and cream looks good. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
I think the birds know where the good food is. The scone does look yummy! Great shots!
Nice and tasty, the scones ofcourse. And Sparrows, getting a free one.
HI Andrew You are making me hungry looking at those lovely scones!! Sparrows are always up for getting any foods that's going. I have also a tea companion that you will find on my post tomorrow,(Wed.) Check it out as I think it will surprise you!!!
Looks like you and the birds had a lovely day!

No more scones, please! Not nice to tease us like that. I like that butterfly in your header photo Andrew. Striking.
Love the company you keep! Did they enjoy the scones?
You had the company of little sparrow. Great shots.
Great shots! Sparrows are cute, but they can be a bit too cheeky sometimes.
Nice looking afternoon tea! (And sparrows!)
I have a plan to get some Tree Sparrows in a similar location - but I keep getting distracted by the cake!

I'll bet those sparrows never leave those tables Andrew.

Nice photos of your afternoon tea and all those sparrows! We also have a lot of them here in Sweden.

This is Anni @ I'd rather b birdin'...just in my personal blog admin today [Hootin' Anni]. I'm too lazy to switch. :o)
Lashings? Learned a new phrase. We'd say "a shmear." Typically used when referring to cream cheese on a bagel. But the meanings are equivalent.
