Afternoon tea chez Boud

Yesterday was an Afternoon Tea day chez boud,with a guest I've been wanting to invite for ages.  One health thing and another have held things up a bit, but she was here, and a good afternoon was had by all.  She's a stitcher, so there was much catch up to do, about people and an exhibit she saw recently which I didn't.

I like it when people are uninhibited about wandering about looking at the stuff on the walls. And when they suddenly spot the Dollivers, if they've seen them many times on the blog,but never been personally introduced.  It's fun to see what you've read about, I'm told.

So the table, why not have a Valentine's theme, bit early, but so what, and everyone else did it already.  My doctor's office was all done up in hearts and things weeks ago.

Missing from the picture: hot buttered teacakes, large pot of English breakfast tea, uncovered sugar cookies and banana bread.  Oh, and guest.  She came shortly after this scene.  

It was particularly nice since she's an actual tea drinker, happy to have refills.  I love that.  A lot of people sort of drink tea but one cup is a lot. And she allowed as how it was ok to have a little something to take home, for a dessert some time.

Another much postponed tea will happen with the other friend who has had hitch after hitch, and the date for that is still tba.  The Dollivers can handle it.
