(Ali's little joke)
Then a selected few of us went for a carvery to celebrate.
There is never a dull moment when Cheryl's around...
she was on great form as usual.
l-r aliholli, Claire, Dale, KayStar, KayLollipop, Cheryl, StevetheBus, Littl'Jane
Of course there was a CANDLE... it just wasn't on a cake (She ordered the SUNDAE!!! EEEK! WHAAAT?!)
(Kay NEVER orders sundae, she ALWAYS orders the bottomless jug of custard)
Then last week, just before Christmas, the celebrations continued in the form of a very splendid
Afternoon Tea
at Chester's 5 star hotel
and oh my word we ate in style.
It was all Christmassy. :)
As you can see, Kay had already been Christmas shopping but I was yet to start mine, as, for the last few weeks I had been one of Santa's Elves in my cold attic sewing Christmas stockings for everyone else's children and new babies. Anyway I was hungry.
Strawberries and cream? Champagne? What was going on??
We weren't expecting this!!
Apparently a mystery "somebody" knew we were going for tea that afternoon and had sent us these extras...
Aaawwwww it was the lovely Magda!
so she joined us for 20 mins.
And then it arrived!
No wonder it is called Gentleman's Tea.
All this with chunky chips.
Not your delicate-crusts-cut-off-ladylike-finger sandwiches then? (yippee)
The waiter seemed to think we would have trouble eating all this but he had no idea that we were keep fit fanatics (remember-Kay is addicted) with big appetites and we had no problem WHATSOEVER polishing it off...the ham was delicious, the beef melted in our mouths and I assume the cheese was delicious - but I had swapped it for the salmon which surely was the better option, have you SEEN how much salmon was on each slice.... wooo.
It was very civilised, extremely relaxing, and a real treat.
LOVELY.
