Outside the British Embassy
Last week, after we completed the tour inside the residence of the British embassy, we stepped outside to see the grounds and sit on the patio for a spot of tea.
It was a beautiful day - sunny yet cool - and would could not have asked for better weather to sit outside and eat delicious tiny sandwiches (though delicious tiny sandwiches are delicious no matter the weather).
In fact, the embassy had a whole spread waiting for us, and in addition to the delicious tiny sandwiches, they also had scones, cookies, and other munchables. As we sat down the embassy's official butler poured us tea that was prepared to stringent British standards.
Once sitting and eating, we continued to talk with our tour guide. She was, I must emphasize again, super nice and very knowledgeable, and provided us with a fantastic tour of the embassy. She is also a former parole officer, though upon coming to the US had to take a more mundane office job.
Overall, the experience was a fantastic one, and if anyone ever gets the opportunity to visit the embassy themselves, I highly suggest that they take advantage of it. And I am not only saying that because of the delicious tiny sandwiches.

They have a large back yard at the embassy. They bought it from a neighbor. Hopefully they don't get in trouble for it like Barack Obama.
Our very nice tour guide watching over the pouring of the tea.
Lots of tasty little sandwiches.

The butler pouring tea. Neil was so impressed, that they gave him a container of it to take home. (Don't tell him that you can get Twinnings in the local grocery)

The United Kingdom is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the G8, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth of Nations, Council of Europe, and a member state of the European Union. The UK's most notable alliance is its "special relationship" with the United States. Apart from the US and Europe, Britain's close allies include Commonwealth nations and others such as Japan. Britain's global presence and influence is further amplified through its trading relations and its armed forces, which maintain approximately eighty military installations and other deployments around the globe.i love the solidarity of UK. well i am afraid of hair loss and i use hair loss treatment, arginine & human hair extensions. really its show good results.
