A Spot of Tea



                                                                      Hello everyone,
        It was a nice day here today and we were busy getting ready for our first House & Garden tour from Japan today. There is always more to do to be ready for the first tour but I think we are ready!
                                                How about a spot of tea today?
                                         My new tea cups that I bought in England came home with me in my carry on for safe keeping.
                               We have lots of tulips and daffodils etc. blooming in the garden now.

                                                        A pretty new hydrangea.




                                           Look the pale pink and green tones.
        Just a quick spot of tea today as there is lots to do.

              I am joining/Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.


              Thank you for visiting,

                      Carolyn

  3. Olá Carolyn,

    Após um dia de trabalho e uma reunião no colégio do meu filho, cheguei mais tarde hoje em casa e tive a surpresa em saber que seu livro havia chegado.
    Me emocionei muito ao desfrutar de cada página, lembranças maravilhosas. É como se eu caminhasse novamente pelo jardim, sentindo o perfume das flores e ouvindo os pássaros como naquela bela tarde que estivemos aí. O livro ficou maravilhoso e é difícil saber qual é a foto mais bonita. É como se eu recebesse o mais belo presente.Vou guardar para os meus netos e poder dizer que estivemos aí.
    Precisei segurar para não chorar e precisava dizer isso a você.Você me passa muita paz e tranquilidade.

    Obrigada querida.

    Feliz primavera. Espero ansiosa cada publicação.

    Um beijo.

    Lauriane e Cleumacir
