Well, Hello, its that time again when we join in with Abi to have a cup of tea and a chat- So do please come in and sit down.
Sorry about the wet entrance way- with that massive thunderstorm we had earlier today, the rain just went everywhere, the lightening was straight overhead too..it's a good job no of us were out in it.
What would you like to drink? I have some really nice little packets of herbal teas that I picked up in Cambodia, would you like one of these...
Or just go with regular tea or coffee?
I'll be having the lemongrass tea- I tried Lemongrass tea first, way back in 2008 in Peru- and now I just love the stuff. I've been a bit decadent today too.... Instead of baking myself this week, I ended up trying a new little cake shop and bought a couple of slices of cake instead.
The cakes are gorgeous. Would you like a piece of the chocolate cheesecake?- It's very rich- but sooooo very good!
Please excuse the mess, There are bags of stuff everywhere. For one thing, I've started to put a few things away, ready to ship. I know it's a little bit early, but July will soon be here and I don't really want to leave all the packing up until the last minute.
I've still got my weekend bags to unpack too! I was a bit late getting back last night after a wonderful weekend away. A few of us girlies- hardly girls at our ages- but you know what I mean! -had been up to the North of the island, right to the Tip of Borneo, to stay in a luxury villa! We were celebrating one of our little group member's birthday- such a great idea. We all had a very relaxing and fabulous time. Doesn't it look beautiful?
- It really was!
Now back to work with a vengeance. It's lovely to chat though. Hope everyone had a lovely Easter Holiday. I could show you a few of my Holiday snaps- but I'll save them for another time- I wouldn't like to think you'd fall asleep with boredom :)
Great to catch up with you all. I'll be here next month too- Join me then?

ReplyDeleteHonestly, the cake is gorgeous- a little too nice- I might have to try some of their other flavours!

ReplyDeleteYes, it was a great way to spend a weekend:)
DeleteOh Amandaaaa! I'm lactose intolerant and I can't have any of that yummy looking cheesecake! I'll have a cup of plain black tea with soy milk if you have it. And just a little square of dark chocolate if you have that, too. Thank you for having us to tea. xx, m & jb
ReplyDeleteoh, that's a shame- but i do have some very rich dark chocolate.:) I'll save you some for next time:)
DeleteI always look forward to tea with you Amanda. You bring a lot of sunshine into my dull grey English day! Those teas look so beautiful, too good to open almost and that cheesecake had me drooling. Thank you for inviting me into the sunshine again this month!
ReplyDeleteThey re cute aren't they- I shall have to use the little baskets for something afterwards:)

DeleteWhat delicious looking cake - I'd love it with a strong cup of coffee :) The getaway looks so relaxing too, glad you were able to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'd love some chocolate cheesecake, though I wouldn't take your last piece. A trip away with the girls sounds wonderful - it's doing those fun things that keeps us girls at any age!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could ever be bored by your photos - I so enjoy the world you share with us. Those little packets of tea are so pretty! Glad you have had such a lovely time in what looks like paradise.
