A mad hat tea party!

This story needs a bit of history, so here we go:

Two years ago when my mom went overseas to spend her birthday with my sister they did lots of sightseeing and interesting things and being England everywhere they went had a tearoom. So every time we spoke to my mom or received an sms they had been to some place or other ... and had a cream tea! Without fail, they must have consumed enough scones and clotted cream to feed an army! SO on Friday Bev emailed and said she was going to visit a show garden on Saturday with a friend and, of course there will be - you guessed it: a cream tea! So my mom said we would "join" her and have scones for tea here. We had ordinary cream - South African style!

So the scones were made and the table was set and we all got dressed up in hats, scarves and jewellery for the occasion!
And then the serious business of tea drinking began:

When we'd all had our fill of scones and tea (Niave had about 4 cups!) the dressing up really began!

and not even the dogs escaped!


Some pets have to endure such humiliation!
