I love these Rose Is Rose comics that I have saved from long ago. YES! Good friends and an afternoon spent together over cups of tea is my favorite thing to do.
This week it was a teatime with a tea friend. What a treat it is each time we meet. Teatime friends are the best.
We sipped a new Darjeeling tea and nibbled on trout and egg salad sandwiches with dried fruit and scones. The scones are in the pink napkin, as they were fresh from the oven.
Then earlier in the week my "live-in gardener" and I had to initiate our patio with teatime. We have a small garden of potted plants on the patio. There is one cherry tomato, one tea plant, and many flowers and herbs. The herbs are basil, thyme, and rosemary. Then there are a few bonsai in the background too. Well you didn't think we completely gave up the garden. Being on the ground floor it feels like we have a garden out our backdoor, as beyond the concrete slab there are plants that the landscapers take care. Now that is the way to have a garden and not have to do all the work.
What is your favorite way to spend time with a friend?
Hoping you find special times often to spend with dear friends.
Sending love,
Marilyn

Both occasions are lovely, Marilyn, but I'm especially charmed by your patio "garden." I'm a big fan of container gardening. And you are right -- it is considerably less work but loads of beauty! The tablecloth, treats and flowers are a glorious combo!
I love the comic strip and your photos of the tea are so lovely and heartwarming. I love tea and am so glad to see all the lovely pastries and decor in this setting.
What a lovely tea time spent with your friend. Those roses are gorgeous, and I've never seen such a pretty Pink color. Almost like a bubble gum Pink! The spread looks simply delicious. Your outside space is charming, Marilyn. Thanks for a little peek of it. ; )
