Today the volunteers with husbands and wives and friends from the bookshop went out for our annual pre Xmas lunch. I'd like to say it was an enjoyable time but apart from the company it was not!
Twenty minutes to heat a loaded potato and some of the meals were already off the menu and it was only 12:30pm.
Our table was situated under a fan and the air con and it was cold. One couple stayed long enough to eat and then left. We had asked for the air con to be adjusted or, preferably, turned off but the staff member didn't seem able to do either! But on the plus side, I still got to enjoy my cup of tea from a pretty bone china tea cup. (And no, that is not a rather large insect in my tea, it's part of the pattern on the inside of the cup). 💗
We all left with a small gift and mine was a small
hand held wooden cross.
There were some nice Christmas decorations
and below is the tree in the foyer...
...and the wreath
just down the hall from it.

And just because I can - Caitlin and Brayden with their triplets :)

Peace be with you this Advent season.

I imagine you won't be returning to that establishment any time soon.
ReplyDeleteAt least you had good company to get through it all. A very nice tea set. Insect especially
ReplyDeletefunny I did think that was a bee in your cup LOL. There's nothing worse than going to a cafe that doesn't care.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am sorry the dinner wasn't what was expected. That's really a shame, but at least the company was good and the decorations were nice, and I love your teacup! And I love the Geese with their triplets! What fun to see this time of year! Here it is the beginning of winter, and the geese and cranes won't be nesting for a while yet. Not sure we will get to see them if our pond doesn't get some water in it soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and yours have a very blessed Advent and Christmas season.
I'm so sorry, Diana, that the dinner wasn't what you'd hoped for, but I am thankful that you were able to get your cup of tea in a beautiful bone China teacup . Loved the video!
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the restaurant but at least you enjoy the company. Love your wooden cross.
