I love those cultures that have a name for it – Merienda in Spanish, Goûter in French, I suppose the title really is Tea in New Zealand

These looks so precious!! I just know the scones they usually have for tea in the UK – but these sound so yummy – and the blueberry butter is very genious! Thanks for sharing!

Ah that’s interesting it’s not so common these days. Yeah I think of it as a mini meal, most often just a cup or tea but my sweet tooth often demands more… Your grandad sounds awesome!

Heh, high tea is more of a fancy novelty that an everyday ritual… OK I’m definitely looking for proper crumpet rings now!

These sound amazing! Too bad my sourdough starter accidentally got thrown away by my better half

O I remember golden syrup on crumpets for breakfast being such a treat! Love the look of your blueberry butter!

I think afternoon tea used to be more of thing here in the UK. Of course, the UK is where afternoon tea originates. My grandparents – now just my Granddad – still sit down at 4pm every day for tea and perhaps a biscuit, but I’m not sure it’s really a meal per se. I don’t really partake unless I’m in my home ton and hanging out with Granddad (we spend a lot of time together and play scrabble – he’s also my music teacher). Oh and by the way, awesome crumpets and blueberry butter!

That whipped blueberry butter looks heavenly! I love morning and afternoon tea rituals in NZ I also grew up with those rituals back in the Philippines, we called it “merienda” and my grandma would give us rice cakes.

Haha I almost went the empty tuna can way but last minute popped down to home outfitters for the real deal. So pleased I did. They were so easy to use. I hope you get lovely holey ones when you try again! You seem to get your fair share of high teas in Victoria!
