HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLEY!!

Today was the lovely Shelley's birthday (22nd I think....hahaha). So to treat her we (Shelley, Lucy and I) went out for a good old fashioned High Tea. We found a lovely little place tucked away above a nice shop in the Design Quarter. There are only a few tables so even if all tables are full it is still never too busy and the service is very personal. We started off with a nice spread of savoury snacks and a pot of tea and then moved on to champagne and a spread of sweets. After the sweets they bought out the giant lamington cake that I had made. I figured seeing as how Shelley has a bit of a weak spot for lamingtons then what better birthday cake than a giant lamington (it has nothing to do with the fact that icing a giant lamington is about the limit of my talents when it comes to cake decorating). We had a very lovely relaxed morning and even managed to finish our sentences and complete conversations - a rare treat for all 3 of us. We were so impressed that,before we left, we booked another morning for next month when Michelle is back! All diets are left at the door when doing High Tea!!

CHEERS GIRLS!!
