2:47

yeah get a good chance good son

2:49

has gotten i've gone to the controls for years

2:51

and i'm always working on my guidebook and a

2:53

few years ago i decided

2:55

that running around looking protests in restaurants take

2:57

three hours and into i walk out doesn't

2:59

live in a don't get up early stage little later there's

3:01

long nights in the summer

3:03

and get out off the road you see a different

3:05

cotswolds from off the road

3:07

the only do and the footpath very

3:09

easy to find as you probably found because

3:12

particularly somewhere like the well which is quite

3:14

a popular area

3:15

there are always find posts that tell you where

3:17

the public footpath so and those little

3:19

yellow

3:20

heroes will guide you across the fields

3:22

i love the first that i love the mix

3:24

of culture and history and walking and it's also

3:27

easy and when you're old then you

3:29

can hop in a bus or take a taxi back where you started

3:31

you can indeed there are lots of public

3:33

transport surround the cotswolds now

3:35

which pick you up and drop you off and of course

3:38

they're always pub says you need a taxi you can

3:40

stop in a pub get yourself half a pint

3:42

and and call a taxi codex

3:45

a scepter have a pint or media by

3:47

maybe upon devereaux

3:49

young young dollar over the world and

3:52

england this is something about england that celebrates

3:55

walking what is it about england that

3:57

is special for long distance walks

3:59

in this

3:59

cultural hiking

4:01

i think over the long distance walks

4:03

hum of which can take you take as

4:05

long as you like that you can take a week to

4:07

week but you can see such

4:10

a variety of different lands

4:12

the mean a short very

4:14

short distance i think that's

4:17

and there's the spirit of england

4:19

that we can walk anywhere we have

4:21

the right to walk in fact tell me but

4:23

the mass trespass this is of a fascinating

4:25

sort of thing about england taking heritage

4:27

yes these were workers who

4:30

trespassed on the truth it doesn't she has learned

4:32

he was in using it for twelve days a year for

4:34

grouse shooting

4:35

he put up a fence and he said this is my

4:37

private problems

4:38

my private property as

4:40

and the workers in the new industrial areas

4:43

of manchester wanted access to

4:45

that land that you could ever she wouldn't give

4:47

it so they publicized

4:49

a big whoop the great

4:51

trespass the bus trespass nikita

4:53

to justice because are trespassing on the

4:56

dukes land and

4:58

the police were out the game keepers were out

5:00

but they got to the top

5:01

shouldn't to the workers when the workers

5:03

one and lorraine this exercise

5:05

of the rights to walk you got to be respectful

5:08

but you can't walk from a to be yeah

5:10

the country the much trespass

5:12

and the start of the nineteen thirties on kinda

5:14

scouts was the formation of the

5:16

ramblers association

5:18

there we go because the ramblers is like

5:20

a it's a huge club of people that want to

5:22

take care yet rails end defend the rights

5:24

to was absolutely

5:25

i think there about a hundred and forty thousand

5:28

miles

5:28

of public footpath in england and wales

5:31

they reckon there's about ten

5:34

thousand miles of last foot

5:36

paths that they're still trying

5:38

to reinstate

5:39

so the ramblers club is helping

5:41

spirit that absolutely yes

5:43

deborah haber in lives in the high marlins

5:46

10:03

you think's for your call? good luck on your long-distance hiking,

10:05

england and

10:09

plan in chapel hill, north carolina is emailed

10:11

us and glenn rights i did a couple of

10:13

long-distance walks a few years ago i did

10:15

the warden's way in the cotswolds in

10:17

cleveland way along the coast

10:19

the climbed up mount snowdon and

10:21

i did a day on hadrian's wall

10:23

i'd like to do a long walk that would pass

10:26

careful ruins interesting historic

10:28

sites or find a cycle route

10:30

relatively traffic free i'd rather

10:32

not have to rent a car to get around to be

10:34

got any suggestions

10:35

though glynis them quite a bit of hiking and he

10:37

wants a long walk featuring castle

10:40

ruins and historic site

10:42

why valley the why valley walk

10:45

what you make and deborah oh yes

10:47

it's beautiful and in the south of where

10:49

the beautiful it's it's also sort

10:51

of

10:51

bordering between england and wales okay

10:53

because it's a number of hikes along the english and welsh

10:55

plan isn't there yeah and the border moved

10:58

a lot so

10:59

why man it because it's a border the

11:01

had lots of castles go to defend

11:03

the border so something

11:05

the why valley walk is beautiful

11:07

and you'll find lots of castles with these be wells

11:10

castles to defend against the english or it

11:12

english castles to keep the welsh indigenous

11:14

people down both place

11:17

because over the centuries as the border move

11:19

it have the welsh building

11:20

kidney english out and vice versa

11:23

so and sometimes you've got the same castle

11:25

and one generation it's invasion

11:27

another generation it's welsh

11:28

did he traveled ricksteves we've been

11:31

dreaming about hiking in england and mixing

11:33

11:35

joined by our guides and fellow hikers

11:37

deborah hebron and fluorine dineen

11:40

deborah and lorraine let's just finished with with

11:42

a favorite moment you beachhead enjoying

11:44

the countryside and the culture of england

11:46

what a particularly magic

11:48

moment that you've had that you can kind of paint a picture

11:50

of fall when you romney's walks it's

11:53

it's the people you meet when i did

11:55

the why varney work i remember meeting

11:57

12:00

walking it on her own i was

12:02

people on these walks you know i gotta say

12:14

and as does the etiquette almost of talking

12:18

with each other and sharing information and and

12:21

having a beer together in the pub yes and

12:23

of an american end the beer and plenty of opportunities

12:25

12:44

sunset might be nine o'clock

12:46

13:57

with the brits literary tradition and

13:59

so much of that great rating is set

14:02

on the road these writers are for

14:04

a surprisingly vivid time tunnel experience

14:06

to know the england of centuries past

14:09

at , pier fans wanted to see themselves

14:11

twenty first century been and comparing

14:14

country in the culture memorialized

14:17

that's great writers through the ages ages

14:20

these literary great even recognize

14:22

britain today peter explores

14:24

the book that diaries and journal

14:26

of important british authors from over the

14:28

centuries as he headed out to survey

14:30

england's green to pleasant land

14:33

his book his called footnote called

14:35

journey around britain a journey company

14:37

a great writers and peter joined us

14:39

now from the studios said the bbc

14:41

in london peter thanks for joining us

14:44

as an absolute pleasure you know you really

14:46

can't know your country or or

14:48

any country without actually traveling through

14:50

it

14:51

would you say england's literary greats recognize

14:54

that and and traveled to make their

14:56

writing more vivid and and

14:58

more insightful certainly some them

15:00

does i mean some them never moved to tools

15:02

that summer like dickens was an obsessive

15:05

travel and not just walking around london

15:07

every night but also getting on trains whenever

15:09

he couldn't gain all over the land

15:11

save yes some were very consciously

15:14

traveling to try and make more of their writing

15:16

so tell us

15:17

in your challenge when you set out to write

15:20

footnotes

15:21

how did you travel and what was your goal

15:24

well my dear was i wanted to find

15:26

a new web looking at britain because

15:28

we've seen so many changes recent in

15:30

my davis is i could get a selection

15:33

of great writers some the not very well known

15:35

some much better now all

15:37

of whom have traveled at some point in

15:39

britain and i want to steep

15:41

for myself and then diaries my writing

15:43

and everything it's about their

15:45

trip and then i kind of step i spit like

15:48

stepping out of a train or plane and in new

15:50

land and i thought i thought it might help

15:52

me see britain more clearly if i did that william

15:55

you mentioned charles dickens i mean everybody

15:57

wants to better understand victorian london

15:59

and

15:59

and what better way to do that

16:02

than to read charles dickens accounts

16:04

of

16:04

definitely and his accounts of his train journeys

16:07

so the idea behind my my

16:09

book was that i would take twelve authors

16:11

that was six men and six women all

16:14

who'd made the eastern isn't the earliest

16:16

was eleven eighty eight for the michael gerald

16:18

of wales the latest was

16:20

nineteen eighty three barrel bainbridge

16:22

who smoke to way around england then

16:24

i wanted to make all the journeys join up

16:27

to be like a kind of baton in a relay race

16:29

or snowballs sweating as it rolls that

16:32

we would go from the first altered to the next would

16:34

never would never leave them as well so

16:36

be continuous loop around britain and

16:38

you'd be jumping from century to century and

16:40

in an interview with sign away yes

16:43

and as it works in the and very well as

16:45

with the one i started with was urban

16:47

could enid blyton her dancing has by one

16:49

and in the states but she was by far our

16:51

biggest selling children's author from

16:54

the nineteen twenties to the nineteen sixties

16:56

absolutely enormous seats right seven

16:58

hundred and fifty books very

17:01

very influential on us now

17:03

her idea of what britain is was

17:05

very influential on his old case villages

17:07

and friendly bobby's and

17:09

like mistrust of strangers sellers nineteen

17:11

fifties idea of england which still

17:13

often permeates our view of ourselves

17:16

okay but that was that's relatively recent

17:18

what about this dimension the author from the

17:20

twelfth century what kind of

17:22

insights from the twelfth century a eight

17:24

hundred years of could be helpful

17:26

for understanding england today

17:28

well it's he writes very specifically

17:31

this is michael gerald of wales he was traveling

17:33

around wales and eleven eighty eight trying to drum up

17:35

support for the third crusade recruiting

17:37

welsh arches oh yeah and he

17:40

had some really precise nature writing

17:42

and what's fascinating is the the

17:44

lions he describes so

17:46

different to the one we know it was the land was full

17:49

of wolves and beavers which we don't have

17:51

in britain anymore and that hasn't

17:53

by strains views on beat as he believes say

17:55

castrated themselves without being hunted

17:58

how my cause he thought we were to syria that

18:00

reason so his is slightly

18:02

fantastical his journey that made it more

18:04

even more exciting to follow him do that is

18:06

eight hundred years ago net same

18:08

as what he right resonates today and

18:11

then yes dickens's the most

18:13

remarkable they are that some of the authors

18:15

tend that more the months because they made seventy jones

18:17

said dickens then the book twice

18:20

the seem that emerged was i

18:22

was start with child and an end with deaths

18:24

and the last journeys dickens's

18:26

final journey in a coffin from his home

18:28

in kent into the centre of london

18:30

where he was buried in westminster abbey wow

18:33

this is quite a puzzle you put together a you've

18:35

got the map in your book that shows said

18:37

the route and and the different authors that

18:39

become like the tour guide that's

18:41

right edit and the great thing about

18:44

doing it this way as you can read their writings nuke

18:46

look additive train window in

18:48

the same way that they would have done and seen the same

18:51

scenery passing by yes of course

18:53

neither pylons and carson different

18:56

things but it's still out there will what's an

18:58

example of stuff peter about like you're

19:00

writing on the train the train sitting right next

19:02

to his charles dickens and he's looking over

19:04

your shoulder and he's pointing his in look at that

19:06

then he writes about it would something

19:08

charles dickens from the what

19:10

did mid eighteen hundreds would have instructed

19:13

us you're riding the train across the english

19:15

countryside because charles dickens

19:17

have so much energy and such vivid

19:20

imagination his description

19:22

of a change areas like nothing else that

19:24

use experience because half

19:26

a see the change and he'll be dancing where they've on in

19:28

the carriage and be striking up songs and put

19:30

blank bets and he was absolute

19:33

indefatigable salem the

19:35

book was way of learning more about these authors

19:37

as well as the person that that scene what

19:40

about samuel peeps i mean he was the great

19:43

famous direst to have contributed

19:45

hugely to our understanding of society

19:48

in london back but in the sixteen hundreds yes

19:50

he didn't sad and have room for paid sick

19:53

of eyes a nightmare trying to choose

19:55

my twelve authors some of them were my

19:57

favorite so i just put in and others

19:59

i knew

19:59

have pete and yet cause ended

20:02

up with that

20:03

the list is so long i mean i would have loved to have

20:05

included dad jane austen the nina

20:07

do a seventy extraordinary iconic

20:09

authors five just couldn't include this

20:12

is traveled ricksteves or guest is peter finds

20:15

his taking us on taking journey around britain in

20:17

the company of some of the greatest writers

20:19

it's all in his book footnotes peters

20:22

aims to explore today's britain by

20:24

seeing it through the lens from the past

20:26

is found in the words of britain's great

20:29

writers peters also written about

20:31

his travels in greece to search for

20:33

meaning from greek myths and legends

20:35

and to dissonance that book is called

20:37

thing of beauty post frequently

20:40

on twitter at p fines

20:42

and that's built f k e n

20:45

n e s you know one author

20:47

i'd love to walk with would be any

20:49

the great poets the romantic poet

20:51

william wordsworth i can just picture him with

20:54

his rucksack in his notebook hiking

20:56

across cumbrian the lake district yes

20:58

he was you get one for persons

21:00

what with coleridge to who is

21:02

an obsessive walker he would walk fit

21:05

for hours and days at a time tossing

21:07

out his poems it as he went spurts again

21:10

have no room for them out of they appear

21:12

in the book and little sort of bits and pieces

21:15

but not didn't get whole chapters themselves

21:17

a followed them johnson and boswell

21:20

if you know them around scotland

21:22

the summit first dictionary

21:24

in the eighteenth century it

21:27

was fascinating following them because he became upset

21:29

is ray irascible man he became

21:31

obsessed with have he trees that were in

21:33

scotland

21:34

that is true that is something that people talk about all

21:36

the time now and and nephews re wilding

21:39

ah efforts in scotland but

21:41

and if you type of the historical rider you're

21:44

dealing with a time when landlords

21:46

were english and the people were

21:48

scottish and some

21:50

of the landlords actually thought the people were more

21:52

trouble than having sheep's they would just tennis

21:54

swap out the people for the sheep and make

21:57

money off as com and i mean there's that whole political

21:59

over

21:59

really did that come through very much in

22:02

your studies it did if you look at the

22:04

land and precisely for that reason

22:06

you can see desert is villages in scotland

22:08

still in the middle avast states that

22:10

are still only given over to grass shooting

22:12

all deer hunting whatever though

22:15

this is still there the politics is still them

22:17

he found the wilds of sky particularly

22:20

enthralled i did our

22:22

some very moved by the wilds

22:24

of skies such sir well

22:27

, a wild wouldn't blame place

22:29

am with very few trees is samuel johnson

22:31

can't say not it's really

22:33

moving when you guys ams bridge over that

22:35

an avid he johnson was got there by

22:38

boat but even say that was say

22:40

that as i've gotten i was looking for genuine

22:42

wildness and you can find it

22:44

in sky as well as some very good whiskey

22:47

and wales has similar wilds in the north

22:49

the around snowden national park

22:51

the deer your literary characters

22:53

help you better appreciate snowden and

22:56

in the the natural wonders of north wales

22:58

yes on my great loop around britain

23:00

after gerald wales he handed me

23:02

of the anglo irish right has could

23:05

some a villain ross to women

23:07

and i went up snowden mountain itself

23:09

with them which that done in i think about

23:11

the enlightened a three or something

23:13

they will victorian edwardian ladies

23:15

who'd gone up in full skirts and hats and

23:18

dump smoked the top are

23:20

in those days was nothing at the top of the a

23:22

very small hotel was as

23:24

hadn't been called hotel because it was falling

23:27

down was nabbed as a railway to the toughest

23:29

node yes again you look at it through

23:31

their eyes and you see what

23:33

was then the most extraordinary

23:35

the empty place that is now

23:37

the they're accused of people climbing snowden

23:40

have a different experience different experience

23:43

peter alumnus notion of traveling around britain

23:45

kind of oblivious to the central you're bouncing all through

23:47

the centuries as as you do when your side see

23:49

around england and what you've done is assembled

23:52

a series of great minds

23:55

great lovers of culture and nature

23:57

and heritage who write about so beautifully

24:00

they're your guides and they're passing the baton

24:02

from one guide to the next who

24:04

is your favorite guide puts literary

24:06

am great

24:08

then if you know wilkie collins i got very bogs

24:10

down with him in a very good way

24:13

he was a contemporary of dickens slightly younger

24:15

than dickens take him under dickens's wing

24:18

and as a young man his father

24:20

wants to be a lawyer but

24:22

his father died and so he threw that up

24:24

images and became and writer and

24:26

he went right como

24:28

the for the was a railway and como

24:30

says called rambles beyond railways

24:32

he he wrote this but when he was very young man

24:35

and i got very stuck with him i read to the

24:37

first three chapters of spend with lily collins

24:39

because he's so into seen it describes

24:42

everything he sees

24:43

in such exquisite detail oldest

24:46

little cove some corners villages

24:48

am but what kind of detail peter because

24:50

when you see those coves i can almost imagine

24:53

the tilt shirts are running and in

24:55

this is when there's a one day opportunity to harvest

24:58

all these these big herring

25:00

and they blow the foreign and everybody runs

25:02

down drops at the dune invents and they gluttony

25:04

dragon buckets of cultures

25:07

i mean there's just these ways that we

25:09

can get into the past that we

25:11

don't have an opportunity to experience today

25:13

but we can learn about it and we can go to those places

25:16

would such an example of something

25:18

vivid from for example cornwall

25:20

with wilkie collins

25:22

the about that is very diverse he describes

25:24

as as you've just described the fish

25:26

coming in and the horns blaring a live as

25:28

entire village rushing to the front and

25:30

dry he'll these fish in a

25:32

working through the night with torchlight as is

25:35

beautiful descriptions of that the also

25:37

describes the is one finger to the pub by

25:39

this happened but he he went

25:41

the small in and he was part of the he

25:43

witnessed a smallpox party

25:45

were adopted come over down from london

25:47

much was a big deal in a state carrying

25:49

a small amount of smallpox matter

25:51

as he called it was use injecting

25:53

all debate is within all the women of the area

25:55

was turn up with a baby and have the baby inoculate

25:58

his which had a lot of

25:59

with them but weeping i'd say today

26:02

fascinating we're ,

26:04

around britain with utter peter fights

26:06

right now and travel with mixing mixing

26:09

followed the trail twelve great british

26:12

to bring today's britain into focus to

26:14

the ends of the past as these authors

26:16

provide his book is called footnotes

26:19

attorney well written in the company of great

26:21

of peters also the author

26:23

of hope and as and source

26:25

the ancient with some do force of britain

26:28

is minus title is a thing abuse

26:30

travels thing mythical and modern greece

26:33

which a reviewer for the guardian called a

26:35

sun drenched him to greece will

26:37

share a conversation about that in an upcoming

26:40

edition of travel with xd

26:42

what about bass bass is so famous

26:44

for it's decadence and that sort of high

26:47

society escape from london back and george

26:49

and days

26:50

the i bought his the and the other slightly

26:52

rush pass pass in bristol because there's

26:54

been so long com what i had keller move on that

26:56

i did drop into path briefly because

26:59

at that stage shows following a woman called

27:01

celia finds to roads

27:03

around britain ah britain sixteen

27:05

in sixteen sixteen

27:07

the on horseback accompanied by to

27:09

servants and that cessna was very rare and

27:12

strange thing for women to do in those days

27:14

and she kept her very detailed diarrheas

27:17

floating in the boss at past

27:19

led some he had this com the luminous

27:22

bathing suit

27:23

and she was slightly sneering about saw the local

27:26

women who weren't wearing quite enough

27:28

there's so many dimensions of english society

27:30

that you can get by traveling not only round geographically

27:33

but around through the centuries

27:35

there's this concept of the shifting

27:37

baseline syndrome can explain

27:39

to us with that is the as a sort of

27:41

conservationists turmeric came up

27:43

from reason when they were studying fish

27:46

numbers couple of decades

27:48

ago and trying to work out why

27:50

was that we didn't feel that the that fuel efficiency

27:53

of lead as lead was that sense in the air that

27:55

there is but i'm shifting baseline very

27:57

hard to six what six what

27:59

normality is which is why i was soon

28:02

seem to go around with these different writers and

28:04

see what they described so when wilkie

28:06

collins described the millions of pilchards

28:09

that almost throwing themselves onto the shore

28:11

and como a obviously we don't have

28:13

that not the pictures of garneau they

28:15

they've come back slightly since say

28:17

shifting based night as is what it means it's

28:19

it's very hard to know what normal is it's

28:22

true to its the challenge to see things

28:24

in the context of the time yes

28:26

and what are the normal numbers of wildflowers

28:29

to find in the matter is oh yeah a

28:31

given that we know the sandwich pesticide around

28:33

what what is normal we we've kind of forget

28:35

so quick because it's where humans we adapt so

28:38

rapidly to the new normal

28:40

it has traveled rick steves we're talking about peter

28:42

find in his book is footnotes and

28:45

journey round britain in the company

28:47

of great writer peter ,

28:49

really had a fence that that you enjoyed

28:51

your travels and that your focus on the literary

28:54

a great thing that dimension enhance

28:56

the travel experience in fact he wrote in the book that you had

28:58

a lot of fun you saw some incredible sights

29:00

and you drink in some amazing pumps

29:03

pumps wrap up our our discussion with a

29:05

chance for you to you , a pint

29:07

with with one of these writers who would you

29:10

have a pint with and what was that experience

29:12

be

29:13

it's a very hard one to choose who are

29:15

most items time as i think charles dickens

29:17

would have to fit into his fun and the great

29:19

thing is a cause london is dotted

29:21

with pubs were dickens drank

29:23

himself and wrote about vividly and many

29:26

of his characters appeared so always

29:28

oliver twist characters you can see the

29:30

pub snapped his anything gun train can them

29:32

and you can sit by roaring log foreign

29:34

imagine dickens as he disowned raise

29:36

a glass to him

29:38

such this when you were saying

29:40

that in the fire and raising a glass and

29:42

you know the edged glass on the windows

29:44

and in the well worn furniture

29:46

in the creaky old hardwood floors

29:49

and in the clientele today that

29:51

are you gotta do is swap out their wardrobe and

29:53

in their from the victorian times

29:56

there's some opportunities that we are there

29:58

there is one thing we've done well

29:59

this well the british i think it's the pub they're

30:02

still absolutely vibrant place is despite

30:04

the last two years and absolutely

30:07

this pubs which were drunk and not only

30:09

by dickens but though many others of the authors

30:11

in my in my book and you

30:13

can go raise a glass them all i would recommend

30:16

a cat on my next vacation i'd like

30:18

to go to a i've i've got a number of great

30:20

pubs i in london in small towns and

30:23

i'd like to read one book that would enhance my

30:25

travels in britain with this dimension

30:27

of going back into time with the help of the literary great

30:29

which when book would you recommend i

30:32

used to enhance my travels and

30:34

30:36

30:42

30:44

hundred years old and more buddies

30:51

in london and as times and

30:53

31:21

london based tour guide brit months they'll

31:26

31:28

he time in english that's next time

after a busy day of hiking in the british

31:35

countryside or when you're seeing the sights

31:37

31:40

he could probably use a little break the

31:42

british zip come up with an ideal way

31:44

to put an elegant pause in the day with

31:46

afternoon tea lonsdale

31:48

31:51

in london caesar companion for

31:53

t right now and travel with rick steves

31:55

31:58

americans little more about what to expect

31:59

and what's expected of us

32:02

bread thanks for joining us oh it's

32:04

a pleasure know brit you've spent years

32:07

taking americans around london as

32:09

london as guide i find people are very

32:11

interested in these teeth

32:13

what can we learn about teased understand

32:15

that part of english culture

32:18

afternoon tea for english people

32:20

is just such an automatic ritual

32:22

that so we never really think too much about

32:24

it we think that afternoon tea

32:26

really staff said one of the

32:28

people given credit for it is the touch

32:30

her santa maria

32:32

the with this has to have pets and spice

32:34

and he found the

32:35

between

32:36

and between didn't have a little too far

32:39

and says she got some sandwiches

32:41

taken impulsive peace after her

32:43

and it's thought that she was the person who

32:45

really started is awful the various other

32:48

claimants sir are there if

32:50

you read about it but it's just

32:52

a wonderful little ceremony and it's evolved

32:54

over the years and it's become something

32:56

that said you just tend to

32:58

enjoy to make peace process of yourself

33:01

over in it's nice to treat yourself to an

33:03

afternoon tea and it's so delicious

33:05

but i do warn you that it bypasses

33:08

the elementary canal and settles immediately

33:10

on

33:10

hit some success you can call

33:12

this victorian than could newest nineteenth century

33:15

yes i think i'm in t of course has been arranged

33:17

for for much longer than that's really

33:20

but sir it's salt but the real

33:22

afternoon tea as we know it today probably

33:24

evolved doing that

33:26

in and originally would be for people with a lot

33:28

of time on their hands as opposed to the working class

33:30

well i would imagine so although i think lots

33:33

of people did like to try and new node

33:35

say that they took tea sets and they but

33:37

nowadays i think everybody really into

33:39

is a good afternoon tea but it's still not that

33:42

people have a limited budget because if you go

33:44

for really posh often in t it somewhere

33:46

like the nine am head

33:47

the great it will a landmark

33:49

or portland the me

33:50

since you're going to have not much change

33:53

left from about forty pounds

33:54

have a lot of money last

33:56

time i was in london i learned that you can split

33:58

a t except as and

33:59

because you have to people want to order and sixty

34:02

dollar t split and

34:03

even i did it the world say

34:05

as him to number and we would teach very

34:07

nice it own allowed to do that and

34:10

if he were to go to somewhere like

34:12

the minute

34:13

red line him that would be frowned whole mm

34:16

well i'm not sure i think you could probably

34:18

get around it

34:19

you could probably order a cup of tea one person

34:21

in the and whole

34:22

i should imagine you could because it's

34:24

very very filling and you get know

34:25

the lot of food soviet so best

34:27

both up

34:28

that needed that so lovely

34:31

hybrid dot is a little confusion among

34:33

a traveler's between the terminology here but

34:35

cream t afternoon tea height

34:37

he would have the differences there

34:39

well if cream t and afternoon

34:41

tea tend to be a fairly similar sort

34:43

of thing where they in my view high

34:45

t tends to be something like

34:47

an early t that you would give and children

34:50

perhaps and they came in from school something with

34:52

a little more substance to that way my aunt something

34:54

cool wells were fatal you might have them

34:56

in is that wonderful thing that we said beans

34:58

on has to this was something like that is this

35:01

of thing that i would get to my children if they came

35:03

in and often and couldn't wait for dinner

35:05

what a high tea is more of a meal then

35:08

there's a lot of visitors

35:10

refer to afternoon

35:12

tea as high tea and

35:14

i guess we don't really correct them anymore

35:16

not the we really mine

35:17

okay but that's very good to know because

35:20

i think what we're thinking about is the

35:22

afternoon tea and that's with all the ritual

35:24

and that's where you'd go to the fancy t romanov

35:27

in a fancy hotel or something like this

35:29

the key is really an d sort thing that you'll be

35:31

served will be sensitive sandwiches

35:33

a dainty sandwiches with the crust cut

35:35

up the bread and cucumber sandwiches

35:38

sometimes sex and then you will have egg

35:40

and crafts sandwiches then you'll have

35:42

scones and great debate

35:44

about whether you pronounce it's com os

35:47

current the majority of people

35:49

pronounce his own that put the number pronounce

35:51

his cabinet it varies but this is i can

35:53

little take often with

35:56

in obs he'll terminate so raises

35:58

it depends a certain of very different

36:00

ways but generally that's how they are and

36:02

you happening house and put strawberry

36:05

jam when he to side and then great

36:07

big spoonful of

36:09

cream clotted cream

36:11

oh i think it's probably

36:14

a minimum of sixty five percent

36:16

sat which at to you in

36:18

the us would probably qualify as butter

36:21

it's very very rich

36:23

then it's quite delicious you just getting

36:25

me all excited your breath assess the how really

36:28

i gotta admit snow when i like what i like this is

36:30

beautiful scones or scotland's i

36:32

slice them very thinly so that

36:35

so can have almost like have loaf of bread and and i

36:37

can put the clotted cream in the in cream jam

36:39

on each little thin layers that kosher

36:41

well i'm your neighbor it depends i think you can

36:43

do pretty much what you want but and the way

36:46

and i tend to do it has cut them in half and then

36:48

put the strawberry jam and then there's dollop of cream

36:50

on the middle and i keep to have separate

36:53

i'm and eat them just like that you sort

36:55

of eat them in one half and then of course you've got to

36:57

leave some room for pastries

37:00

and cakes which will follow so it's

37:02

not something that's to be hurried that's

37:04

an elegant aspect to it and you're expected

37:06

to take your time over it if i went

37:08

for afternoon tea at three o'clock i certainly

37:11

wouldn't expect to leave much before

37:13

about five one five thirty

37:15

and i probably would [unk]

37:16

nice evening either i bet

37:18

not sought help us invasion this you get this

37:21

three tiered silver tray don't

37:23

you you do they often is

37:25

presented night that take us through that from the

37:27

bottom to the time

37:29

the button a often you will have to eat

37:31

sandwiches and everything to sandwiches

37:33

says you imagine a slice of bread cut into

37:35

probably about six segments sometimes

37:37

have been trying

37:38

the without the crust

37:39

or without across yes across the i

37:42

remember reading somewhere of somebody

37:44

saying you didn't slice off the crust

37:46

wasn't crust wasn't you give to the poor subtle

37:48

was very snobby but you caitlyn

37:51

and you make them as delicate and dainty as

37:53

possible and then on the next tear up

37:55

you've got scones and then on the final

37:57

two you've got a tiny little cakes

37:59

oh hey , i'm speaking

38:02

with britain lonsdale and brit is blue badge

38:04

guide she sent me for years in london as i work

38:08

information on our website at the radio corner

38:11

rick steves dot com or phone number is eight

seven seven three three three seven four

38:15

to five and charles on the phone in portland

38:17

oregon cheryl thanks for your call great

38:21

i'm outgoing with a common for

38:23

afternoon tea replace them once you recommend

38:25

which is the dorchester hotel i've

38:28

been there twice afternoon tea and really

38:30

enjoyed it graces gray ambience

38:33

in a very relaxing atmosphere

38:35

the dorchester

38:36

absolutely lovely and i would agree

38:38

completely as a marvelous hotel

38:41

and it as a very good afternoon tea

38:43

sure when you are having the t did you have the

38:45

at the three tiered silver setting

38:48

yeah well actually they brought a platter

38:50

sandwiches which you could select from

38:52

i'm and that was my downfall

38:55

be too many of those but then later on a broad

38:57

three tiered with the stones and

39:00

a couple of other items with the clotted

39:02

cream and the jam and then later

39:05

they brought a platter desserts which

39:06

ah good

39:09

the you wouldn't do you do that sometimes

39:11

as year were you surrounded by

39:13

what seemed like in own up to the

39:16

aristocratic english people are was it

39:18

something that a tourist could feel comfortable

39:21

i would only say a tourist a so

39:23

comfortable in it they do have a dress code

39:26

bad if you have flags and

39:28

a nice shirt or you know nice coat or

39:30

something like that you would happily sit right in

39:32

and i never felt all uncomfortable

39:35

all uncomfortable it was stuff he says the staff

39:37

at the hotel the would create just

39:39

need the whole experience

39:41

the one thing i learned when i was having my t is

39:43

that the actual selection of he is important

39:45

to brit what can you tell us about the

39:48

variety of tease you might be able to choose from

39:50

there's a huge variety but the most important

39:52

thing to remember i think is that we always have it with milk

39:55

sometimes i've noticed when have gone with groups

39:57

of people or individuals they

40:00

don't expect to have milk in their t but

40:02

most of us will have milk automatically

40:05

and i know that you don't have a

40:07

sorts of peace that will be said for often and

40:09

he will be things like don't see link it

40:11

lots of us me particularly like

40:14

a t called oh gray apparently

40:16

the queen very fond of laps thanks to show

40:19

but you can have anything really for afternoon

40:21

tea and you certainly won't have fun of

40:24

fruit teeth or anything like that it'll always

40:26

be india know i turn the t

40:28

that sort of thing will be served and i

40:30

think something like darjeeling is his their lights

40:33

as pleasant t austin places

40:35

do their own afternoon tea blends

40:37

things that they feel a suitable certainly

40:39

at the end of it your throat so much that you

40:41

will almost undoubtedly have undoubtedly

40:43

have is caffeine and sugar

40:45

rush

40:47

so cheryl on unix is to land and body or

40:49

t plans

40:50

i'm i would have we go back to the dorchester

40:52

it was in i thought about trying different

40:55

places such experience there was so great

40:58

is his ego with what you know and says oh the joy

41:00

was things was things certainly go there again

41:01

that good share from portland thanks to the com

41:04

thank you

41:05

and diana in that

41:07

the paid emails us and she writes

41:09

when in london i had high tea

41:11

at rounds hotel at the ritz and

41:14

that the stafford hotel they're all great

41:16

and fairly pricey

41:17

what are some of the less traditional places that serve

41:19

fine afternoon tease britta

41:21

you know about the high tea at browns hotel

41:24

at the ritz at the stafford

41:25

yes i do actually and i've been

41:28

to all of them and in fact

41:30

is you look at my sicker you can tell that

41:32

to fit it into a nightmare as

41:34

something of a great enjoyed or of often

41:36

in t but some unity vary

41:38

tremendously in terms of the full to the ambient

41:41

so atmosphere you want because some places

41:43

will have music sometimes i'll have

41:45

a plan a pair sometimes i'll have a little chamber

41:47

orchestra so you can go very grand

41:50

and time or you can go very

41:52

low key and an awful lot of little places

41:54

will do afternoon tea and so

41:56

it really rather depends what sort

41:58

of experience you you can go

42:00

into many cafes in london based

42:03

simple little cafes and they will give you a scone

42:05

with jam and cream cheaper

42:08

places perhaps and perfectly

42:10

nice just behind kensington palace you have

42:12

the orange tree and they will do and afternoon

42:14

tea where you can just tarzan chance

42:17

com and cream and a cup of

42:19

tea and the to be much less expensive

42:21

than unit the big forty pounds layouts

42:23

has something a little more glamorous the

42:26

sort of places or else you could go at

42:28

you know into any little hotel and and

42:30

not have to face the full monty

42:32

as we say into a just

42:34

have a storm and cream unit has plenty

42:37

of places where you could find this

42:38

so i suppose you can talk to the people in your

42:40

hotel you can look at your guidebook or if

42:43

you hire a private guide guides will all have experiences

42:45

like you for the place to go

42:47

forty depending on your budget and and

42:49

how glamorous you want to go this is travel

42:51

with or exceeds we're talking about afternoon tea

42:54

the ritual of a fancy break in

42:56

the afternoon with britain lonsdale is a blue bad

42:58

guy inland she joins

43:00

us from the travel with rick steves show archive

43:04

basically the teaser in the afternoon

43:06

what what is the typical time for t way

43:08

user me what we would think would

43:10

be about three o'clock having said

43:13

that such as the popularity of often

43:15

in t you will find a lot of places

43:18

well i hesitate to say cashing in on it

43:20

because obviously they're meeting a demand that

43:22

you will find places that will stop doing

43:24

it very early for example or it's

43:26

hotel they serve it from a net and

43:28

thirty in the morning senate one thirty

43:30

than at three thirty minutes

43:32

and i said he and then at seven thirty they have

43:34

various settings so that

43:36

sir you know really clutter loss of afternoon

43:39

tea but some the london hotel

43:41

that recently won an award for that ruston

43:43

in t they serve it between

43:45

two and six is almost always

43:48

best to have a reservation however because

43:50

said you get popular it's the sort of

43:52

place where you would take somebody to celebrate

43:54

something unit will refund got visitors in

43:56

town i had some indian friends in

43:58

town and took them to form

43:59

the nuisances

44:00

while ago and they absolutely lost

44:03

it although they were wearing jeans

44:05

that faith sort of course was terribly sustainable

44:07

and we had to be tucked away in the corner

44:09

because there is quite a strict dress code

44:12

and genes whilst to then

44:14

would have seemed the height of sasson out

44:16

to the people in fort mason says

44:18

in a not the correct dress so

44:21

you may get in with casual dress but you're likely

44:23

to be tucked away in a corner clap sub

44:25

play here less time you were enjoying

44:27

a t with one of your friends in london or

44:30

was at a full pie you you recognized

44:32

from americans that were there in the room for

44:34

what what is something you would warn us about

44:36

what i would say would be go with the flow

44:39

and go with the experience don't

44:41

go to afternoon tea and sex oh no i don't

44:43

drink tea has ,

44:45

a you that if you haven't or a

44:48

decided that you're going to have a cup of tea try

44:50

it with milk in it and just see

44:52

the way you do it what one of the things that is so

44:54

incredibly endearing i signed about

44:57

and last the american people i go around

44:59

to it is sweet say they

45:01

asked how is the right way to do it

45:03

and what should i be doing it like this should i

45:05

be doing it like that and i find that completely

45:08

completely and it makes me sick since my heart

45:11

because there really isn't to complete

45:13

the right way oh you will get some very stuffy

45:15

english people say oh no no

45:17

cancer store in a building as

45:20

you must do you scum this way but at

45:22

least i don't think it really matters as long as

45:24

you love the experience and unit

45:26

to slap hop dance

45:27

yeah probably make a point to take your time

45:29

you don't want to russia t

45:31

definitely not in any way you can't

45:33

because it is don't even have eaten it

45:35

all madly you'll you'll be so full

45:37

view you just won't be able to manage the rest

45:39

of it says

45:40

very very gently a question

45:43

about the kids self which the thought between loose

45:45

t and t that comes in the bag

45:47

well i don't think he missed

45:49

his a really good afternoon tea places

45:51

you will find team tea bags you'll

45:53

find loose tea and that's

45:55

really perceived as being the classiest way

45:57

to serve it and you will get a

45:59

strainer the in a single strain

46:02

it and she'll cop that sometimes comes as a

46:04

bit it's a surprise to people cause i knew is
