I was asked this question the other day. It could be anyone I was told

After a l o n g time I said Dolly Parton. She is not just a made up bimbo, but a very good business woman, She has taken a big interest in getting young children to read, providing free books to schools, even in the UK. There is a very different side to Dolly from the one projected, I would like to find out more

So, who would you like to have afternoon tea with?

Marelli I'm American, and live on the West Coast. I've enjoyed all the virtual conversations here for a long while. If I ever visit Edinburgh I'll join in your meet-up! I too wish I could take my Mom out for tea. But maybe I could take DD instead-get a lot of questions answered now!

So many. Where to start? Perhaps I'd feel most at home talking to anyone I went to school with. Especially my boyfriends from back then!

I'd be too starstruck or nervous to talk to a celebrity, although there are plenty, like, say Julie Walters, who I am sure would make anyone feel at ease. Many others, I would be worried that we wouldn't have anything in common.

I agree about Freddie Mercury, - I just adored him. And I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton too.

Pressed send too soon! Sorry.
I wanted to add one of my own, mmmm... Stephen Fry would be interesting, I think.
