James and I were delighted to host Angela's birthday high tea on Sunday. Angela and I have been great friends ever since meeting in the eighth grade of high school and we've been close ever since. James and I have held a number of afternoon teas over the years but Angela had moved to Melbourne some years back and had missed them. Hence I wanted to hold a high tea especially for her on a very special birthday and I wanted everything to be perfect! James transformed our little city balcony into a leafy oasis and I baked up a storm to fill the table with scones with jam and cream, cupcakes, the most enormous birthday cake with chocolate mousse icing and ribbon sandwiches. Everything was blue and white, the lilies from the markets opened up and Caroline bought along lots of bubbly with delicious hibiscus flowers. It was great to finally meet all the friends Angela had mentioned over the years and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves over the never ending pots of tea. Happy birthday Angela!
