I have definitely moved into the digital era. When I opened my email I found an invitation to a Dame's Day High Tea. The venue was the trendy location of Derby Street in Newcastle. Upon arrival the decor suggested an event of yesteryear proportions. The light fittings appeared to be original and so too the chosen colours of the paint scheme. Having entered and thence, seated I had a brief connection with a little village that I had visited when in France. The painted images created a warm and inviting atmosphere. There were tables and chairs arranged in Parisian style where one is able to sit cheek to cheek with fellow diners. Tables were festooned with cake stands, three tiers in height. Elegant and dainty morsels arranged so carefully that they commanded all invitees to partake, first, of the savoury offerings before being treated to the sweets, chocolate pots and fruit for dipping. Glass cabinets filled with chocolate works of art lined the shops serving section. From the glass cabinets casual shoppers and diners could gaze and wonder which choices to make. So many to choose from and so little time to try them all. Perhaps trying them all would have been a little hopeful for each mouthful was so rich and creamy surely it would take one years to sample the entire range. I have the utmost respect and adoration for those skilled so as to be able to create such fine and intricate morsels from chocolate. Warning! Do not enlarge images of the chocolate display case. You will be challenged to locate chocolate and if you have non available, then don't torment yourself!
