Mothers' Day High Tea

This morning Katherine and Stephen took me to Worn Out Wares at Singleton. We arrived to find the cafe brimming with people who, like us, were celebrating Mothers' Day. Katherine had booked a 10:30 High Tea for the three of us, in the courtyard. A step back in time where people sat and shared delicate sandwiches, cakes, pastries and tea. Tea was poured from a silver service and so too the milk. Special touches included the fine China cups and designer serviettes to complete the occasion. Cakes stands were presented by smiling wait staff. Salmon blini topped with wisps of garnish teased the palate and so too the cucumber and chicken sandwich fingers to begin. Thence, came the cupcakes, miniature lemon meringue tarts and gently dusted grapes. The arrival of the third platter surprised us all for we were already happily satiated with the first two. However, we managed to gather the strength to tackle the macaroons, carrot cake and blueberries. Such a pleasant place to dine, surrounded by an amazing variety of collectibles, flowers, works of art, linen and garden ornaments I am sure that we''ll return very soon to savour more of the trinkets and cafe's offerings.
