The CAA group on this year’s trip to the Royal Windsor Horse Show met for afternoon tea earlier today. Our “headquarters” hotel — The Christopher Hotel — couldn’t accommodate the entire group of nearly a hundred people, so there were two seatings for tea: one at 3:00 and a second at 4:30 p.m.

There were tea and coffee; a variety of delicious tea sandwiches; scones, clotted cream, and jam (yum!); and several kinds of cake.

The Christopher is an old coaching inn, and the rooms on the left in this photo are in the portion that used to be the stables.

Our CAA group now fills the entire Christopher Hotel (and blocks of rooms in several other hotels), so I’m sure that members of our group will be gathering each evening — for drinks and/or dinner — in the Christopher’s friendly bar & restaurant.
