first post - peacocks tea rooms

it's been so long since i did a blog. when i was around thirteen i had a super angsty teenage mess of a blog, and i'd like to redeem myself here, maybe. i think this blog will be a happy place mostly. i'll talk about the games i'm playing, new music i've heard, things i've done and probably new stuff i've bought that i want to share. to get back intot he swing of things, i'm going to try and write a tiny bit about a place that i've always knows about but never even thought to visit; peacocks tea rooms.

firstly, the outside of the place is beautiful. secondly, i was super dumb to not take a picture of it for myself. i borrowed this one from their website, i'm sure they won't mind.

we were quickly seated and given the absolutely huge menu. they serve so many different types of tea it would take forever to try them all. i thought the sherlock holmes themes teas were quite cute, 

it was a pretty warm day when i visited, so i decided against tea, but if i'd had one i'd probably have gone for kashmiri: 

"Kashmiri - Our first and best Chai: a rich blend of Indian spices, orange peel and more"

i decided to just get a banana milkshake which was super good! it was the kind made with ice cream so it was super thick and i drank it too quickly which sucked. craig (that's the bf if anyone reading this doesn't already know me) got a fentiman's curiosity cola. 

"This curiously invigorating recreation of colas from yesteryear is made using infusions of the finest herbal ingredients."

basically, this is the best stuff. i don't really know how to describe it, but it was so good. and it came in this fancy bottle which i was allowed to bring home. i've been collecting cool drinks bottles and cans recently. maybe i'll show them here one day. also, the dog on the bottle neck reminded me a bit of the doge meme.

much cola. very wow.

we didn't try any of the food there so i can't say anything about it, however the specials board said they were serving pineapple upside down cake and they wrote upside down upside down. i was amused.

the place itself is a bit pricey, but i think that's to be expected from this kind of place. it's cute and a nice place to go for a treat, i think. 

last thing! the inside was so cute. the table we were sitting at was right beside the shelf in the picture below. it was crammed full of old tea tins and had mugs hanging up infront of them. also there was a couple of toy cars? the walls had a lot of vintage signs and artwork it all made the place very cosy and comfortable. 

i should have a ratings system.

that means four out of five flowers it's not really that obvious but i'll work on it.
