Tea for two and two for tea


Maggie and I have gone ga ga for tea. Something amazing has happened. I've suddenly found my "inner girly". Prior to Maggie I had no pink in my wardrobe, now I have quite a bit. I've always loved tea and Maggie has enjoyed it also, but since we viisted the Pleasanton English Rose Tea Room we have gone simply bananas for tea.

It was such a relaxing and enjoyable time just sitting and chatting, enjoying each other's company and having tasty tea and yummies.







The Menu:

Maggie - Oolong Jasmine tea, peanut butter and jelly, petit four, baby chocolate cupcake, fresh warm scone, fruit

Andie - Chocolate mint tea, egg salad, veggie delight, cucumber aoili, fresh warm scone, lemon cake, mini apple pie, fruit


The mission:

All of this inspired us to take an unused corner in our front yard and create our own special tea garden.
