Tea Garden

Garden Corner

Patience and Min tagged along on a Saturday morning visit to the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific.

Tea House

They went to their favourite Japanese corner of the garden. There were no microwave beeping sounds emanating from the tea house today, but thinking of tea reminded them that there was a sweet little cafe in the other corner of the garden…

Nourish

Patience and Min perused the menu,

Cup of English Tea

and were happy to help the human polish off a delicious pancake brunch, washed down with English tea.

Beautiful! I wish I had such a garden. I try, but it’s the same in spirit only, I’m afraid. That cup of tea looked really good! Sounds like a great time was had by all. Good for you!!

  A birthday brunch was the main purpose of the expedition, and the tea was particularly good! I was glad the girls came along to see what the gardens look like in Spring.

That kimono makes little Min look quite refined! Lovely pictures of a lovely day. Happy that you and the
girls had a nice time with scrumptious pancakes, hot tea and good company. Does not get much better

  She is rather elegant in it, but apparently still feeling like an imp! It was a lovely outing orchestrated by the gourmand middle child of the human family!

  Min has been hopping about impatiently in the Hitty cupboard, and is glad to get out in the fresh air – and brunch was totally delicious!

  Thank you – the girls are happy to have a good excuse to wear their beautiful Japanese clothing! I hope the blossoms come out in Edmonton soon!
