X is for an X-tra Special Destination

 

One of my most memorable visits to England was the Christmas my family spent in the little village of Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales.  Yorkshire is also the home to Betty's, and it is my dream to go back one day and take tea there.

Established in 1919, the story of Betty's is very interesting - from an unpaid farm laborer to a young man, jobless, penniless, and unable to speak a word of English to five tea rooms and an award-winning cookery school, Fritz Bützer created Bettys and they marked their 90th anniversary in 2009 with afternoon tea of patisseries, fancies and cakes from the past served by waitresses dressed in period costumes.

Fritz styled himself as a Chocolate Specialist and his influence can be seen on the exquisite chocolate accents on many of the patisserie items.

Betty's Bookable Afternoon Tea would be a lovely outing to an X-tra Special Destination and I can't wait!
