Red Hatters

The far tables were occupied by the "Red Hatters", a group of rebellious women who meet for fun and laughter. This was at Annie's Victorian Tea Rooms in Oamaru where we were enjoying club sandwiches, carrot cake and fragrant tea and coffee in delicate china. The group all wear purple and have delightful red hats.

People who know how to have fun! I love the room and the timber. Do they do a good high tea?

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine - its High Tea from opening till closing!

[David Pryde]

But does the tea and cakes live up to the atmosphere?

[Maggiemae]

@doblaine Far beyond! Annie is a well known cook, the club sandwiches had super thick fillings - chicken and couscous, ham, fresh lettuce and tons of egg!

Never heard of the red hatters but I think I would like to be one of them !!! I suppose they are following the poem ''When I am old I will wear purple ....& spit '' !!! Are you one of these good ladies or are you too young still !! What ever this is a great photo !!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat They are all about my age or older! There was on lady with white hair (and a red hat) who looked about 90!
