On Monday the Friendship Club were invited to a cream tea in Pam's lovely garden at Norleywood. It was such a sunny day that for most people the first thing to be sought for was shelter from the solar rays. At this table Ellen, Joan and Eileen found shade under the big brolly and whilst Hazel didn't cover her head, Maura and Ivy borrowed sunhats.
Pat and Sheila have wisely chosen to sit in the partial shade, so they're able to concentrate on keeping Daisy out of mischief. We shall see just how effective Pat's restraining technique is when the cake appears!
The cream's arrived at this table, but nobody's going to make the first move. Better not leave it too long in the sun, though! Noreen and Tom have borrowed hats from Pam, and Stan may be intending to set up a new endurance record for the Guinness Book, but Veronica is not going to allow a little bit of sunshine to worry her.
As the scones, the cream and the jam have all been distributed now, our hostess Pam gets free of the kitchen for a few minutes, and comes round to greet her guests. Adele is determined to keep out of the sun, so she has borrowed that white hat from Pam.
No, Daisy, that cake's not for you. We are pleased to report that she was a good girl, and made no attempt to steal from anyone's plate. Nice clean teeth, hasn't she!
Here's Margaret, Pam, Pat and Louise, very properly waiting for someone to say grace. Unless they make a start soon, it looks as though they're going to have to drink that cream!
Anyone for a second cup? Anne and Pam see that Noreen gets a refill. Ouch, that teapot's hot! What a pleasant afternoon it's been. Many thanks to our generous hostess, and to all those who helped to make this lovely day so enjoyable.
