Afternoon tea with a friend







Yesterday afternoon a friend was coming for a cuppa, I made a date and walnut loaf, got out some camembert and crackers and we enjoyed a chat over a nice pot of English breakfast tea. I even dragged the cheese board out of the cupboard with the lovely australiana theme on top, along with lovely old Royal worcester tea cups and plates, (originally from my great aunts in England).

  4. Yum! Nothing better than a date loaf and tea! (Except, of course, chocolate!)
    The knife looks very suspiciously like it has a huon pine handle - the Aussie theme again - from Tasmania?

  5. O' how I wish I could have tea and cake with you Jude, your cake looks delicious, I have a huon pine handle cheese knife just like your's, a present given to us when we were in Tassi, what a lovely way to remember your aunties with their cups and english tea.
