My birthday afternoon tea

Yes, I held another ladies afternoon tea last weekend, and it was for my own birthday this time! I baked a cake... from a box, but still a cake, and added delicious fresh strawberries. YUM.

 

 

It was a beautiful spring day, better than forecast, and we all had a lovely time. I wore my dress that makes me feel like a princess too. I do love a dramatic sleeve, don't you?

 

Everyone brought a plate and we had bubbles before our tea and coffee, as per usual.

 

 

And the next day was to relax and read, watch movies, walk the dogs, potter round the house and generally have a wonderful at-home Sunday. My favourite kind!

And after such nice weather, Daphne and Chloe got to tuck up all cozy on a drizzly spring day earlier this week. I think it's so cute how they are always snuggled together - no matter the weather!

And finally, I visited my friend Jen (she used to be my neighbour and lost her home in the floods :(

She had the most beautiful roses from her new garden on the table. Aren't they stunning? Shades of pink, gold and blush all mixed together is one of my favourite combos.

It was so nice to catch up. I took Daphne and Chloe to visit their friend Teddy the poodle. (Mickydog was being groomed. He is spick and span and looking like a puppy now!)

I hope you are having a lovely week too.
