It’s almost time for the next virtual tea-party. I’ve got the recipe books out and am looking for some yummy treats to share with you all.
I’ll post my afternoon tea next Thursday, April 16th (which will still be the 15th for lots of you, so you might have to treat it as breakfast), and I’m sure Del at Curls N Skirls will be sharing some deliciousness too.
Hope you can join us.

My calendar has been cleared. Looking forward to the deliciousness.

Count me in, again! This time I bring the *mature Blue Stilton*, a cheese we hardly ever found when visiting UK, being there in the wrong cheese season, I also bring another bottle of this amazing organic Chianti Riserva and a seed-rich loaf of warm bread… and pls reserve me your largest of your mugs for tea…. I shall bring a hunger bang, so that I can try ALL your goodies 👏🏻🥖🧀🍷

There will be plenty here — especially as I can’t give excess to the neighbours anymore.

Well Su I actually did some baking last week. I can’t remember the last time I gave the oven a workout☕️🧀 banana and date loaf and rock cakes. But all gone now, Jack says I will have to bake some more. He lavished praise on my efforts to keep me encouraged!!! Stay well and keep baking…

Thanks Pauline. Cooking, like gardening, is my happy place. Though the hot cross buns I made yesterday leave a lot to be desired 😂

A younger friend left some hotx buns in our mail box yesterday. They were from a local baker at the end of her street. Delicious hot and dripping with butter. Have a happy, quiet Easter xxx

I was just thinking of doing something like this. What time zone/continent are you on again?

I’m in New Zealand, so we’re 12 hours ahead of GMT. I’ll post on a Thursday afternoon and everyone can join in any time after that.

It’s so weird. I’ve been reading a chart trying to figure out the difference. According to the “New Zealand to Michigan Chart” if it is 8:30 am in New Zealand it is 4:30 pm of the previous day…
So, if you meet on Thursday afternoon….say 1:00 pm, that is 9:00 pm here…I keep doing the math and it seems there is 16 hours between Eastern Standard Time and New Zealand (as a whole, I assume you have different time zones too.)
I literally sat here counting it up on my fingers. I have such a hard time with…well…time. Which is ironic because my son lives for measurements of time. We are such different people he and I.
Whenever you show up, I will likely be late anyway. It is in my nature. But, I will be there in spirit.

I think you have it right, but I’m not reliable with time difference. And I don’t think it matters when anyone joins in. It’s not meant to be “live” —- just fun.

I think there will be many belated parties. My son’s girlfriend turned 21 a few days ago and their celebration was very low-key.

Yes. And my grandson turns 18 in May – he could be lucky, but I doubt it. They both got out of doing exams though so I bet they are pleased about that! (GCSE and A levels).

Have exams been cancelled? My son’s uni course has been reconfigured and I won’t repeat what he’s saying about the shambles that it’s become. It’s his final year and he was hoping to do really well 😕

Yes they have been cancelled – going to assess using mock results plus teacher assessments. Not great for those students who would have performed well in the final exams.

True. I’d have bombed. My study technique involved a couple of pre-exam late nights and lots of coffee 😂
