Tea Party for Granny

A Granny's birthday is an excellent excuse for a tea party don't you think?
Especially in the middle of a La Nina summer when there are three generations of girls around to enjoy it.
My sister and nieces are here escaping the floods in Bunderburg (Queensland).


First you have to ice your cup cakes.

Sophie and Georgia.


And choose the prettiest cups and saucers.


And cut some of Granny's favourite flowers for the table arrangement.














And assemble the sandwiches.







And the granddaughters.






And pour the "special tea".













And open the presents.







And eat all the dainty morsels.




Then sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

















The cup cake production team.












Look who came to the party!





The Magpie Cat appeared for scones with jam and cream.
You can just see her ample bottom in the corner of this shot.
Watch out for the next installment in which the girls go on a road trip to Napier, stopping at every antique shop, second hand mart and cafe on the way!
See ya then.
