My Kiwi friend and her CarMan husband came to Mum's for Christmas so they were delighted to hear about 'The State Visit'. This Sunday, taking afternoon tea with us, we went off the hill to visit them.
They are at the tail-end of extending their lovely old cottage. This is the view from the new bedroom.
Note my assistant in the bottom left? Both Pr.C-W and I took turns in running interference across those open doors.
After a run in the field, several games of backyard cricket
(Kiwis vs Australia or England depending on how d/Boy was feeling) and some mini-beast trekking
we settled back and enjoyed the sun, good company and yummy home-baked cakes and scones
It was good to take the time to just sit and contemplate the world.
sounds like a great time was had by all!!!

Gosh, that sounds awfully relaxing.... definitely a lot more relaxing than my day (spent manning a stand at the Stitches and Craft Show in Sydney). I feel better for having read your post.... breathing in sweet English summer air, albeit virtualy

ReplyDeleteNow that's what I call a proper afternoon tea. Yumm. Looks like you all had the best day .....even the small black hairy one...vbg. Lovely photos - can you imagine waking up to that view from the bedroom each morning. Bliss.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that tea lay-out looks scrumptious. I love me some clotted cream. Is that an entire bowl of it I see? And what's cloudy apple juice? The mysteries of the English countryside (and Tesco's) are infinite indeed.
