Summer Garden Tea
On a beautiful summer morning…
.
.
…Floradora led her friends along the garden wall…
.
.
…Malarkey stepped among the Blue Star Creeper and Nodding Onions…
.
.
…and Coriander found her way through the Nasturtiums and primrose…
.
.
.
…until eventually they reached…
.
.
…the garden chairs and table under the cowslips…
.
.
…and a morning pot of tea!

What a lovely place to have morning tea!
The Hittys love the garden as much as I do! Tea tastes really good out in the shrubbery, with birds singing and butterflies fluttering by! This is summer heaven as far as we are concerned!
Oooh, lovely! Cowslips smell delicious, so the tea party will have been heavenly.
The cowslips are a lovely flower to look at, to sniff and to have tea under! The Hittys are happy that I found a plant and brought it home – and are hoping it will reproduce itself!
That would be marvellous! They used to be so common in the UK before they were over-picked by people making cowslip wine. Now, they’re protected.
Hittys prove again that they are so fun to watch and see what they’re up to. I imagine in my mind those cowslips lighting their tea party as the sun’s rays diminish in the sky so that talk and tea can continue after dark.
The Quimper Hittys are certainly in favour of drinking tea and chatting until the sun goes down! Luckily the Hitty teapot appears to be bottomless, and there are not too many mosquitoes in our area!
oh my goodness that blue table and chairs in the little clearing….how enchanting.
The little garden furniture set is another one of our favourite photographer’s astute (and lucky) finds! Just right for Hittys and perfect for garden parties!
Wow I love Malarkey’s beautiful green cardigan! I’d like that in human size! Looks like a wonderful place for the ladies to enjoy their tea 🙂
Isn’t that a great colour? I adjusted my usual pattern to shorten the cardigan so it would flare at the hips with the picot edging.
