Golden Hour Pink Frosting Tea Party

Welcome to our golden hour tea party.

My sister and I have been spending endless hours enjoying the lemon and flower filled garden.

Of course, I took her visit as the opportunity to have a fanciful tea party.

How could I not?

With this scrumptious weather, birds singing and the delightful unfurling of petals, we’d be nuts not to take advantage of it all.

The dove, in her nest in the grapefruit tree, didn’t even seem bothered by our shenanigans.

Of course, Teddy wanted everything to do with the party, whilst Matty sat in the shade somewhere napping.

I spend most afternoons and early mornings having tea in the garden at this time of year.

The poppies and ranunculus are blooming like mad, and I almost can’t keep up with the dizzying magic of it all.

And so, right at golden hour, when the light streams in like a daydream, we gather in the citrus grove.

Cakes and treats galore, with lemon peppermint tea, so wonderfully refreshing.

We waited for the perfect moment to cut the cake.

When could that be, you ask?

Or should I say, cakes, tee hee.

The perfect moment would be…

When golden hour begins its enchanting explosion of light.

Illuminating everything just right.

Trust me, you will know exactly when that time is.

So, you best be certain to have your treat of choice in hand…

And a hot cup of tea ready to go.

As you sit and chat and laugh at the table, because…

If you get lost in the admiration of beautiful confections, you just might…

Lose sight of…

The perfect moment in time!

When golden hour descends upon your soirée.

Transporting you to a faraway land.

I will be the first to attest, that it doesn’t get any more beautiful than when the sun does this.

‘

Oh me, oh my, it’s just divine.

How lucky are we, to have golden hour every day?!

I look forward to this happening every 24 hours, what a dream.

And so, if you can’t find us, just hop up the stairs into the secret garden.

We will likely be singing and laughing and carrying on about the most hilarious happenings.

We could be proper, but why would we? (hee hee)

These spring days are beyond lovely.

Such a wonderful little escape, which I highly recommend.

Well, it has been a pleasure to visit with you today.

Writing to you from under the lemon tree, where the desert meets the forest.

But now I must skedaddle, as my sister and the boys are waiting for me.

The sun has set, so next we shall turn on the fire outside, and sip cold elderflower drinks.

Because after tea, why would you do anything else ;-*

I hope you are wonderfully well, and that my note finds you in good spirits.

I am off to join in the fun, but I shall return very soon.

 

Love, 

Vanessa
