A cup of tea to say thank you for all the things you've done
And wishes that the day will bring you happiness and fun

My lovely friend Bernideen has bestowed upon me the
"Blogger Friendship Award". Her blog is loaded with beautifully presented afternoon tea related posts and lovely photos. Do take a moment to pop in for a cup of tea and a bite to eat.

My darlings, life has suddenly placed too many crème scones on my Royal Albert plate. I am a little encumbered by my impending trip and by life's this and that. I'm doing the best I can, and promise you all that I will stop by to take tea with you soon and remember my lovelies

    Already spent here several times the photo that has a woman taking tea, wearing pink, are you? A curious ... you is Duchess, truth? Because I never knew a Duchess. I hope that I won't be discourteous with question ...It is pure curiosity, same. I think the world of monarchy beautiful too I'm very curious about this world, I think very fascinating.
    I think people enchant with the world of princes, princesses, Kings and Queens.
    It must be because of stories princesses jewel. who doesn't like a fairy!?

    Oh, dearest Duchess, I've just had a HOOT looking through older posts of yours. Why hadn't I thought of looking before? "wordless wedensday", that adorable poem with "please put the milk in" (yup, didn't get that one right but maybe you'll know what I mean!), the one about what color shoes brides wear nowadays, cleaning day with all of those pretty dishes in the soapy water! Brilliant! I especially appreciated the post about how curious and wonderful blogdom is. You know, the one about how we love each other so dearly but wouldn't recognized each other on the street (maybe =] ). You said it perfectly.

    What I was looking for was your baby picture. Your infant blog picture - the start of it all. I wonder if it's the one with the yummy sandwich recipes.

    Well, once again, thank you ever so much for having me over for tea. I enjoyed your company immensely!

    Love, Katy Noelle xxo
