A most cordial invitation...


This weekend, my sister and I were invited to assist and partake in the preparation and excess consumption of tarts (the smoked trout and pickled onion & lemon and raspberry kind, not together, of course), cakes (the carrot and black forest variety), tea, watermelon punch, finger sandwiches, chickpea salad, samosas, fairy floss cupcakes and coffee. Some pictures to whet your appetites:

Miss MerryM (below) hosted the marvellous tea party, adorned in traditional dress and attentively re-filling everyone's teacups, heaping more cake on plates and inadvertently forgettng to eat as the soiree went on late into the afternoon.


We liked to think of ourselves as elegant ladies, but as the food hit the stomach and the bulge hit the dress, we couldn't help but imitate ladies carrying babies, because the silhouette was so perfectly pregnant.

[My sister, prim and elegant before the food]:



In honour of the splendid food and exemplary display of eating, I will leave you to salivate over the pictures and yearn for your next meal.
