More tea vicar?

It's taken a while, but it's finally happened.

Each Thursday afternoon at 4pm the staff and students gather in the Common Room for 'Common Room Tea'. Staircases take it in turns to do the catering, which varies from home-made cakes (practice for us judging at summer fairs?) to packets of chocolate biscuits, to plates of fresh pineapple and melon slices.

But this week, for the first time ever, with snow on the ground outside, we took tea with cucumber sandwiches and scones.

Just one minor detail - the crusts had been left on the cucumber sandwiches, but they were very nice crusts.
