Tea parties and flowers
My blog has taken a back seat whilst I enjoy the summer and
entertain my parents. Every two years
they visit their homeland to reconnect with family and friends. I have hosted
a few afternoon tea parties, rustled up numerous cakes and pastries,
reconnected with family last seen many years ago, enjoyed several picnics on
the beach and drank enough cups of tea to sink the Titanic all over again!
Summer wasn’t such a wash out after all. We had lots of
lovely warm sunny days, I even had a few intrepid swims in our Solent sea and
surprisingly the water was quite warm.
My tiny garden has offered up the most delightful fragrance
and supplied me with endless bottles and vases of sweetpeas, roses, cosmos and
cornflowers but these last few days have seen the weather change especially
early mornings and evenings. I am now more than ready to embrace my favourite
season, Autumn, but for now, pretty flowers and tea tables.
Thank you Sarah from Down by the Sea for shedding some light on that lovely purple flower in my garden...the beautiful thalictrum delavayi.
Have a lovely week!

ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, sharon! So nice you are spending the time with family and enjoying the summer! We always try to do that here, too...time is always flying by so quickly, it's nice to just enjoy life!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my identification was correct. Your tea parties look delightful and remind me of my childhood. It must have been wonderful for your parents to catch up with everyone again. Sarah x
