what a delightful afternoon yesterday…

put out all the cushions and the umbrellas…

next I made coffee and had a few moments to read while I waited for my friends to arrive…

we decided not long ago to meet in the afternoon when it is warmer, as we continue to meet outdoors…

one had something else on, another connected by phone… the rest of us gathered in person…

it was a beautiful day and we sat close to the pond… both pumps were turned off to make it easier to hear one another, lol…

there were lots of visitors while we were meeting… a variety of sparrows, blue jays, squirrels, a cat and we even spotted a mouse racing through the grass… the fish swam around where we could see them as well…

strange to have such warm weather, but we certainly enjoyed it…

afternoon…

yesterday we had a delightful afternoon tea at Zoe’s in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier…

we dressed up a bit… nothing like when we went for tea at the Empress a few years back… at that time we even wore white gloves;-)…

the host took great care to seat us at a window with a lovely view of Rideau and McKenzie Street… we saw lots of bendy buses drive past;-)…

the settings were reminiscent of days gone by with lovely old cups and cute tea strainers… tea was delicious… between us we tried three different varieties and they were all tasty…

we shared two towers of treats and were very full by the time we were finished… we even brought home some of the dainties… our server, Dave, was extremely attentive to all of our needs and even recommended a few other places we might go…

my favourite item was the scones with clotted cream and freshly made strawberry jam…

we are having a delightful time and being treated like royalty by the kids;-)…
