My week was quite busy; but most delightful (except for one nuisance of a dentist visit). So thankful dentists visits are over for awhile!. Now on to the fun and delight of the week.
As I had mentioned before it was my birthday week. This year I decided to order my own cake. I wanted something whimsical and I do believe that is what I got. A frog and a toadstool on a delicious chocolate cake were the perfect whimsy. Even my grandson loved it and ended up eating that frog.
Though I don't have a picture to share another friend invited me to her home for lunch tea on my birthday, as I was picking up my cake near her home. What a treat for someone else to make tea for me.
He didn't even get a stomach ache. He looks quite pleased with himself.
I'm the one with the short hair! Laughing!
My daughter and one of my best friends celebrated with me too. I love that they are friends too. Don't tell my daughter she closed her eyes for the picture. She would make me take a re-do and the cake is gone now.
And just because it seemed to be a week for family, two cousins came for tea in the gardenhouse. What a perfect way to kick off tea season in the garden. My cousins had never been here for tea with me and it was a perfect way to celebrate my birthday week.
Then to finish off the week of delights, this morning I attended a tea session online from the Museum of London (England) with Rui of GrassPeopleTree. I am so thankful for the connections and friends I have made through social media. If there wasn't social media I would have been so lonely the past couple years of isolation. The presentation was 2 hours long and each time I hear this lovely lady share about tea I learn something new. Do you love learn new things? I do!
I set up my own tea table next to the computer and thoroughly enjoyed the early morning chat with about 40-50 people. I sipped a gorgeous black tea with honey notes. Mini-daffodils decorated my table.
As you can see there are many different ways to celebrate each day when it comes to tea. There was lunch tea with a friend, birthday cake teatime, an afternoon English style teatime, and finally in the end an individual Asian style teatime. All delighted my soul and just plain made me smile.
Have a most delightful weekend, dear friends!
Hoping you find opportunity to sip a cup of tea and celebrate the day.
