My last minute garden party ended up in the house! booooh. Bit too windy and not that warm sadly especially since I put out lots of homemade bunting and I'd spent hours tidying up the garden ready for summer BBQ's.
Anyway it was fun. We all dressed in red white & blue and drank champagne & Pimms (not together, that sounds too dangerous!).
We had cupcakes, sausages & cheese on sticks. I never got around to making scones or the Victoria sponge. And for the second weekend running all 50 cocktail sausage rolls were polished off!!
In between the boozey bits we drank countless cups of tea in true British tea party tradition! Yep it was the posh stuff!! Darjeeling, champagne truffle, Earl Grey... all in my v best vintage china ha ha.
The down side is that I shall be eating cupcakes and trifle all weekend!! - anyone fancy a food package?? xx
Shame about the weather but the food, the display and you lot all look lovely! Enjoy the rest of your long weekend. xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Claire Dear,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Your party looked like a lot of fun. If it wasn't such a damn long swim, I'd have certainly invited myself. The food looks lovely.
Have a great weekend!
Love,
