My sense (as an inveterate reader of menus around the world) was that egg and cress sandwiches are for lunch? Not tea. Unless "tea" is dinner.

Not heard of compound butter before but butter isn’t needed on these due to the egg mayonnaise.
Recipe: Boiled eggs, black pepper, mayonnaise and cress. Oh and don’t forget the bread.
No they can be eaten at anytime. Lunch, afternoon tea, evenings, picnics and very popular on buffet tables at parties.My sense (as an inveterate reader of menus around the world) egg and cress sandwiches are for lunch? Not tea. Unless "tea" is dinner.
I think we can all safely guess that grandma had her own place. But if she had 6 children, presumably the property was not sold and they still can all use it OR it was and Isabel pocketed her share of the inheritance. I am sure we will learn in due course that Daddy's flat is either owned by Isabel to avoid inheritance tax for Fanny or it is in some kind of trust. You never hear her say tax bill....because my guess is that the accountant has been dismissed.On the patreon vlog she said something like..her father had bought it in order for her to be closer to her grandmother. She never said he bought it for her grandmother. I'm wondering if grandma had her own place and this one bed flat is a halfway house. A meeting place between UK & grandmas own gaff. If so IJ may be the only one to inherit it or even SJ.
I get dizzy trying to follow the breadcrumbs that lead to dead ends.Can’t help you with the vlogs but I think mummy dear met Percy well before grandma died. From memory I think she met him as early as maybe 2012/2013/2014/2015 not sure but well before 2018.
Although Karl Lagerfeld had an insane hair system as wellSerious answer - DON'T!
If she loved him she would say we both work together on the Chateau DiariesIs the assistant still going to be happy with that position once they get married? It’s going to be a marriage of unequals, where Steph holds the purse strings and PhiPhi must rely on her for all bigger purchases.
Her teeth looked very grey yesterday.
GOTCHA, I was so confused! That is what ai get for waking up at 4am.Oh, no radishes in the watercress sandwich. The French eat radishes with butter, which is a really good idea, the peppery crunch and the creamy ....I was just thinking that the mouth feel and flavor of watercress and butter would be in the same ball park.
I am actually doing a high tea/gentleman’s tea as we will be having it for dinner, the menu would not stand up to scrutiny for a traditional afternoon tea, too hearty.Delicious, a truly sublime combo.
But plain watercress afternoon tea sandwiches I think are the ones @MagpieSassyPants was looking for?
They are perfect for tea served at 4pm before dinner or supper.My sense (as an inveterate reader of menus around the world) was that egg and cress sandwiches are for lunch? Not tea. Unless "tea" is dinner.

Same. I've contemplated getting one myself, but it just wouldn't work with my eclectic decor.I spent hours looking at Provencal tablecloths in Avignon some years ago. I eventually decided on one to buy. Having got it home, I hardly ever used it as it didn't really look right. You can get carried away by local products sometimes. The cloths look lovely in Provence out on a terrace in the sunshine, but not so good in my flat!

Is Philip using one of those scrunchies made of hair?I appreciate that staring is rude, but the hair system is just mind boggling.
I’m sure you’re not in the market for a career change, but if you were I would seriously suggest a fulfilled living life coach. I would happily engage you to overhaul my life spaces. Your post is a recipe for simply, satisfying living.I was thinking about how I'd redo my one room love shack in Cap d'Adge and made the mistake of Googling it. It's been discussed here previously, the nudist and swinger reputation the place has had since the 60s, the redoubt for working class Parisians who can't afford the Cote d'Azur.
.Cap d'Agde beach resort South of France
The Mediterranean beach resort of Cap d'Agde in the South of France is the biggest holiday resort in France. Famed for its 14km of sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters and steady supply of Mediterranean sunshine, the resort itself hides an interesting history. Cap d'Agde is located about 20...www.golanguedoc.com
Just the place I'd buy an apartment for my precious daughter if I were pervy Derek.
I am putting that -- as well as the massacre of Beziers -- aside and thinking about how to spend a lot of money on a nice little place in the Languedoc.
First, a motorized white awning over the terrace I can push a button to fold back when I leave. An outdoor shower for sand removal with bathing suit drying, perhaps arranged as a wind sock to create patio "art" by taking advantage of the sirocco. Bathing suits blowing in the breeze, festive. Good white patio dining table and white cushioned chairs foldable into a locked white shed. Good retractable clothesline as sea air dried bed clothes are one of life's real pleasures. In other words, I'd make the patio a whole nother room. Sun powered LED candle lanterns, plain white globes.
I don't know how you'd do a scent room. Without overwhelming stank, that is. But see the thing about Languedoc is sun-warmed rock and wild herbs and Cathars. Nothing solid except the unbelievable stony resilience and heart-breakingly gallant troubador transcendentalism of Occitanie. Did you say,@C'est moi, the sirocco prevails? I think, perhaps, postcard sized botanical drawings, ink on white, of the scrubland herbs, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and savory. Bath soap in those scents.
I'd spend good money on a big white wet bathroom, multiple showerheads, big enough for two, a linen closet full of good big hand-loomed Moroccan bath towels, a cleaning closet full of shower cleaning squeegees, herb-scented cleaning liquids, buckets, rags, swiffers with washable terrycloth heads, and perhaps a little wet vac.
I'd plan a ship's galley like landing strip by the door, with shoe storage, beach blanket, furniture, and tote storage, sunglasses, hats, SPF lotion, toys, picnic equipment, back packs, farmers' market string bags, etc.
I'd install as big a good Murphy bed as money can buy, with pillow and linen storage. Old French linen sheets and pillowcases, cotton blanket. Generous bedside lamps for readers in bed. Little bookshelves regularly purged.
Ship's galley kitchen, oven, and implements. White. I'd install a grill on a two-burner hob and superior ventilation to rid the tiny space of daily multiple fish cooking smells. A normal sized kitchen sink with spray faucets for my farmers' market fish and vegetables. Minimsl undercounter refrigerator. Low tech French press coffeepot, you barbarians, easy to keep clean with my locally made Manfred Savonnerie la Brique biodegradable coconut oil dish soap, and nice old cafe au lait bowls. Dinnerware for four, no more, from Le Poterie Not, including a diable to honor north Africa just across the water, and a massive white-glazed cassole, looking like a tagine, for the fruit and veg of the day, which, with the flapping bathing suits and herb drawings would be the only decoration. Zitoun Tunisian crackled glass opaline tumblers, no stemware, you barbarians. French naval mess kit cutlery for renters and the $2,500 locked-down white bone handled Laguiol flatware for me. You want shopping? I will teach you shopping. Big white damask napkins from the brocunt, a clean one for each meal, no napkin rings, you barbarians. Plain white tray to carry it all to the patio table.
I would install an owner's locked closet for personal goodies.
I'd install a vacuum system for complete sand control.
In loving memory of the wonderful Ermengarde of Narbonne, whose generosity gave rise to the troubadours, magnificent white homespun flax draperies, ceiling to floor, and plain white cotton voile inner curtains. A nice built in stereo system with Spotify's troubador playlist. Also the 60s French yeye girls playlist.
A pale stone floor, no skid, no carpet, silky, clean and cool for bare feet.
Nothing else. Some flowers, maybe, once in a while.

What are you planning for your HighTea/Gentleman's tea? They are becoming quite popular here now. We took hubby out for Gentleman's tea as a post birthday treat.
