Jacqui returned in December for our seventh annual holiday tea party (which is particularly impressive given we managed to continue the tradition during the Pandemic). We got a little nostalgic remembering Nora's early tea outings where they enjoyed hot chocolate, gingerbread cookies and spent much of the time reading. And while Nora still has book with them wherever they go, now they're more partial to a green tea blend of bergamot, kiwi, peach, and violet blossoms, the quiche and chicken salad sandwiches, scones, and conversing on the topics that one discusses at high tea.
It was kind of a crazy weekend. After a flurry of activity on Friday (specifically Nora's recital), a bevy or things on Saturday (Nora's DCYOP rehearsal followed by bread-breaking and dinner at the Telfair-Cha's -- which included the IKEA trans shark and a moose) and a morning of Meeting on Sunday (which included making sandwiches for the unhoused per Grate Patrol), we were finally able to get dressed up and enjoy a lovely afternoon tea including a lot of mini-sandwiches (and some trading), clotted cream and scones, strawberries and cream, and a bunch of fancy desserts we couldn't entirely decipher.
It was a lovely afternoon and an incredibly rich and filling experience, so after Jacqui had a last glass of champagne, we headed home and crashed. Until next year...
