a.bicycle.ride.to.high.tea

i started today by marathon ironing, i ironed all the backlog of clothing's since may... so you can imagine a huge pile of clothes at the attic... but i got it all done including sorting out the final bit of my summer wardrobe...

then we set off for a cycling trip around our neighbourhood in search for some wall photos. we didn't have a lot of success except the one above that close to my satisfaction.

some wild summer flowers that i saw for two weeks already every day when i drove past in the evening after work but never got time to take the photo till this afternoon

water lilies - reminds me of monet's japanese garden

spring/summer view along the pathway

on our way to the lake, we saw more daisy wild flowers and so we stopped again for some photo opportunity

along the cycling route, some cows also take the moment to sun bathing like many others... we were briefly at the lake before we turned back for our high tea at a terrace just at a converted barn nearby to our house

the cow is the signage of this restaurant

like many others, we have our high tea at the terrace

the high tea start with a glass of rose procesco

and then the tea sandwich, the petite fours, the muffins, cream puff, bonbons and many other sweeties...

and also a plate of savory with quiche, kroket all nicely done and not oily

and of course the scones with clotted cream, strawberry jam and marmalade

not forget the tea, the main spotlight of the high tea and my favorite revolution tea, there is no lack of selection and refill is free!! i will be back next time with my girlfriends...

then i did a quick round of the interior

high ceiling with chandeliers

the interior of the converted barn, quite tastefully decorated

while he waited for me under the sun, then we cycled further after the rather heavy high tea and on our last leg, we came across another old barn...

like this with broken windows...

and now i need to get ready for the women's revival meeting at our church tonight!!
