#LDNBloggersTea at the Milestone Hotel

May 17th was our third quarterly London Blogger's Tea!

I love that the most amazing bloggers are joining the fun and making connections.

This time it was at the 5-Star Milestone Hotel.

If you read this post about my first experience at the Milestone 

you will know why I selected this beautiful hotel.

There were 23 bloggers in attendance from a wide variety of backgrounds.

We all gathered in a wood-paneled private room and started our tea with some bubbly.

I know it can be nerve-wracking walking into a room of strangers.

But, I'm always amazed at how quickly it just turns into a room of friends.

We share a common interest and read each others blogs.

It's the perfect set up for making connections.

I stood outside the room quietly at one point and listened to all of the chatter and laughter.

I'm certainly no event planner and this is out of my comfort zone.

But the connections that I see being made are so worth the effort.
Here are the lovely bloggers that were in attendance.
You definitely want to check out their blogs.

The company was fabulous.  The tea was nice.

After our last event, I think we are all completely spoiled

and this tea didn't quite get the rave reviews that the Royal Horseguards did.

The sandwiches were good and plentiful with traditional fillings

although I think they might have been sitting out a bit longer than they should
as the bread was a bit dry.

The scones were good and our request for "more cream" was quickly answered.

Our tea selection was limited to just English Breakfast and Earl Grey.

My first experience at the Milestone, I was able to select my tea and had my own pot.

We were just limited because of the size of our group, I would imagine,
but it's always nice to have more of a choice.

I was so full from the sandwiches and the scone that I couldn't fit more than one sweet treat.

But that red velvet cupcake was divine.

 Admittedly, there were a few problems with the special dietary requests and service.

I think most of us agree that it didn't deserve a perfect score.
Many of the bloggers have already posted their reviews with similar comments.

Personally, I will continue to recommend the Milestone

for afternoon tea because of my first experience.

I know what they normally provide to their customers and it's pretty special.
