In honour of Mum’s birthday, a tea shop.
If I could bring you anywhere Mum, it would be here. Where we could sit and partake in endless cups of tea, and while away the hours after spending a morning enriching ourselves at the Rijksmuseum.
Handbag Museum and Afternoon Tea
Last Friday Titan and I packed ourselves off to the Handbag Museum. He wouldn’t let me go without him! He made a lot of new friends from the staff of the Museum!
Both Titan and I were disappointed that we couldn’t show you the inside of the Museum, but no photographs are allowed to be taken of it’s amazing exhibits.
So we left the Museum, and went for a wander.
How cool are these gnomes?!?
You see, I’d recently posted the blog’s 200th post, and as it’s been going for nearly 3 years now, I thought that was a reason to celebrate! So I headed over to my favourite macaron shop Poptasi Pastry in order to buy something to celebrate with.
It’s rather difficult to make a selection when the range is this good! But the staff are always willing to help!
My final choices were joined on the table with my favourite marinated cucumber sandwiches, and smoked salmon and improved cream cheese sandwiches.
And it just wouldn’t be Holland without ham and cheese on heavy brown bread!
Final touch was the T2 Blue Mountain tea. Not a bad spread if I do say so myself!
Though of course, I managed to forget to take a final shot with the teapot sitting proudly on it’s warmer! Oh well. I’m sure you can imagine it.
Now anyone for tea?
The Queen Victoria Building
It was a special day today. A day in which I got all gussied up in a nice frock, and took myself to town so that I could treat my mother.
We went to the Queen Victoria Building in the centre of Sydney, up to the third floor and the tea room.
Most pleasant I must say!
Definitely a more elegant way to indulge oneself!
And not much left by the time we parted ways two hours later!
