I so want to have tea at the Empress Hotel one day. When my late beloved and I were on our Alaskan cruise, tea at the Empress was one of the excursions, but we chose Butchart Gardens. <br />Happy New Year to you!

I went many years ago and the tea time was so expensive but I really do want to treat myself one day and go again. I would love to have seen that teacup Christmas tree since I am such a fan of those! Lol. Tell hubby I love his new Rolls Royce. Lol. My hubby loves old cars too. Happy Tea Day and Thank you for hosting and Have a Wonderful New Year!
