had a delightful time with my friends on Sunday to celebrate my birthday;-)…

we went to Pauline’s Bistro for their Sunday French High Tea…

there were a number of teas to choose from with tasty savoury items and dainties…

the platter I shared with a friend included a candle to celebrate my birthday;-)…

I really enjoyed the scones, but my favourite savoury bite was the: Thank You For The Truffle – Wild Mushroom Pâté, Black Truffle Oil, Thyme, Grilled Cherry Tomato…

it was very tasty…

my favourite sweet was: Sophie’s Sweet Surprise – Pistachio Sponge, Raspberry Confit, Pistachio Cream, Vanilla Chantilly, Fresh Raspberries…

we each wore a piece of our mothers’ jewellery to celebrate them… brooches, earrings, a necklace, and rings… we had fun sharing stories of the pieces we’d chosen…

lots of laughter and great conversation as we enjoyed our “tea”…

what a special treat;-)… and what a gift these women are in my life…
