High Tea

 What a delightful afternoon we had.  My friend Dot and I attended the Daffodil Day High Tea, a fundraiser for the Cancer Society.

There were raffles on sale, so I purchased tickets in several gift baskets, they always look enticing.  And there was a sales table too, manned by the volunteer ladies from the Cancer Society.  I bought two jars of homemade jam, plus some shortbread biscuits.  All for a good cause.

The beautifully decorated tables soon filled up.  

Fancy cups and saucers were set out at each place setting.  And a little later, the food arrived.  Sandwhiches, and savouries first, then the fancy tiered cake plates arrived with little dainty cakes and slices.  Plus scones with jam and cream, and delicious sticky chocolate eclairs.  We certainly didn't go hungry.

Lots of tasty goodies

Pupils from the local High School were busy refilling our cups with tea or coffee, and brought the food out to each table.

Our Mayor, Bernie Wanden was MC for the afternoon.  He spoke of the dedication of the Cancer Society volunteers, and everyone else who helped with the food, raffles, kitchen duties, and thanked us all for coming to support the fund raising afternoon.

It was a lovely afternoon indeed.  And as for those raffles - no luck at all, I didn't win a thing.
