Ladies Afternoon Tea Party

Yesterday I attended a Ladies Afternoon Tea Party with DIL#2 and ladies from our local churches. It was held in a friend's garden in the country and the weather was almost all we could wish for. (This particular Aussie would've liked a little more sun and a little less cloud and breeze but really for this time of year it was quite pleasant - and at least it didn't rain.) We had the full country afternoon tea experience - even down to having to pick our way over cow pats and thistles from where we parked our cars to where we entered the garden.

We drank lemonade out of tall sugared glasses, were served tea from a silver tea service which we then drank from pretty fine bone china, and ate dainties including cucumber sandwiches from delicate serving dishes. Dressed in our finest - some wearing hats - we sat outside in the garden and acted like ladies of leisure - which most of us were for a few hours.

I have no photos of the Tea Party but I do have photos of how we spent our afternoon today:






Almost as good as photos of a Tea Party, wouldn't you agree?
