Christine has just had her 70th birthday. She and I have been friends for 43 years. Christine is Martha's godmother. Martha and I took Christine out for a very posh afternoon tea for her birthday treat. Niki, my older daughter was supposed to be with us but sadly she was poorly with a sickness bug and couldn't be there. On a positive note, we all decided we'll have to do this again so that Niki doesn't miss out 😁.
We were amused by the egg timer. This was so that we could leave the tea to mash (brew for those who didn't grow up in Yorkshire) for the required time.
What a beautiful photo of your tea- time birthday treat - Happy birthday to your friend Christine . I had noticed the egg timer before I read your intro !! :)
