What a fabulous afternoon tea we had this month! This was the first of our monthly bigger afternoon teas, where we hold a special event with a nice range of nibbles and some drinks and have the opportunity for a great catch up with friends in the village. This month we had a high tea theme; sandwiches, petits fours, fruit sticks, veg with dips, and a glass of bubbly to top it all off. The food looked absolutely beautiful (as well as being delicious to eat), and the atmosphere was vibrant and fun. It also happened to be Mary's 94th birthday, so we sang to her and made her feel special. It truly was an afternoon to remember. Huge thanks to Darryl and Eva for organising and preparing on the day, to Cess for providing some impromptu musical entertainment at the piano, and to everyone who came for supporting our new tea initiative. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon at the Astra – fun, food and drink, friends, a singsong and plenty of laughter.
