It's just after 3pm here in Blighty and I always enjoy my afternoon cuppa at this time.
Afternoon tea for me tends to be a bit lighter than the strong stuff I have in the morning - currently sipping a nice Darjeeling.
I do hope you make the tea properly in your household with a teapot warmed first and loose leaf rather than tea bags.
As for the milk first or second argument - well now that's a whole other can of worms I won't even begin to open !
