Ely

The finest tea room in Britain named “Peacock” was located in Ely. I tried the traditional English afternoon tea there. There were three layers in the shelf. Usually the tea sandwiches with different flavors were put in the first layer. The scones, jam and butter were placed in the second layer. As for the third layer, some small tarts and cakes were deposited on the third layer. According to the tradition, we should eat the third layer first. The scones in Peacock taste almost the same as those I mentioned in my first post, but the butter and the jam were homemade. The cream was sweet but yummy and the jam was a little bit sour but it’s delicious. The brownie was also incredible when you ate it with handmade ice cream.

 

 

Ely is a small town with a famous cathedral near Cambridge. It took you fifteen minutes from Cambridge to Ely by train. The small town is surrounded by the river I like the silent atmosphere there, and it’s a best place to choose for the retirement life. J
