An enterprising local tea shop came up with the idea as they are only allowed to operate take out. It was delicious! Of course, we had to eat on the front porch to conform to the current restrictions and it was a bit chilly. We were both in our winter coats, but at least there was no snow. It has been very cold here recently. Saturday overnight set a record of -4C!

Perfect! So beautiful and thoughtful. Set off by your lovely china.
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to get out my special teacups.
ReplyDeleteIs a 'French press' what we call a cafetiere?
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful gift and such a lovely table with it all set out. The china is gorgeous.

Yes, it is, Joy. I thought it was a very appropriate way to celebrate Mother's Day. Judy is a mother too!
DeleteWhat a lovely idea. I hope you were wrapped up well. X
ReplyDeleteYes, although we didn't need hats or gloves. The tea kept us warm.
DeleteHow lovely - like receiving a little treasure trove - and you laid it out in style too. That is a good idea for me to make for my mum next year.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately we had already eaten some of it before I thought to takes photo. I had to stage the "before" picture after the fact!
DeleteI am impressed with your local tea shop - so many shops are finding inventive ways of still being open & seen. It looks like you & your daughter managed a lovely celebration together.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's something we might have done anyway if not for the pandemic.
DeleteWhat a lovely thought. It looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWe both like afternoon tea and it was fun to get out my tea set.
