A lazy (rather overstuffed) breakfast, was followed by the Obligatory Sunday Standing On Soggy Sidelines, while The Son played his part in the Semi-Finals of the Dorset Cup for Under 10's football match. He scored a great goal and his team won, so now it's on to the finals. To be honest, I'm not sure The Nerves will cope with a Finals match.....think I'll have to invest heavily in a large box of Tena Ladys; all that jumping up and down, yelling encouragement.......
Then we whizzed back home, threw The Son and Daughter No.1 out of the car, changed out of our football garb, and went off, just The Husband and me, for A Champagne Afternoon Tea, at a beautifully luxurious hotel, nearby in The Forest. Heaven.
Friends (The Lovely Kym and Sarah and their lovely families) had bought this for us, as a wedding present, back in August, but because of Flippin Football dominating our every step, this was truly the first opportunity we'd had to partake of a moment of refinement! It was glorious.....and in case you were wondering, yes, there are two more scones hiding behind the cups on the second tier (which, incidentally are brim full with jam and clotted cream)....and, yes, the two pink creamy fruit things on the top tier, are also hiding a couple more delicacies. Just saying.
And we had the window seat, with this view.....
.......looking out over the ornamental pond. With fountains.
The day finished with a sunny, leisurely walk (too weighted down to be able to achieve "brisk") out onto The Forest, with The Dog. She was SSSSOOOOO happy to be outside, in the DRY, she did enough dashing hither and thither, to burn enough calories for all three of us!
I'm going to love you and leave you now, in order to get some sewing time in, for fear you start thinking I've forgotten how to sew altogether. Just for good measure, I'll throw in a photo of yesterday's, much brisker, blustery-er dog walk........
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx
Hope you aren't too soggy down there! Can't beat a lovely afternoon tea! Jxo
