One of my favorite pics from my recent trip to London I quickly snapped with my phone. A new friend I had just met told me that I simply must have afternoon tea in the top-floor restaurant at the National Portrait Gallery, and to sit by the window! I had have scones and jam before, nothing special about that...but these scones (which I found out are called Devon scones), with a hearty smear of clotted cream and a dollop of jam were an absolute revelation. The view, looking straight down into Trafalger Square with Big Ben in the distance, along with this quintessential British tradition, made for the most perfect London afternoon!
