Afternoon tea

During a recent unexpected bumping-into, I put into words an idea I had and invited one of the guys from the music group and his partner to join me for afternoon tea after we reached Phase 2 of the reopening on 8th June. I followed up with a formal invitation last week and today was the day they joined me, the first people other than my cocoon regulars to cross the threshold in ten weeks.

It was a great success, even if I say so myself, and they made all the right noises. They also brought a surprise — a belated birthday present of the liquid kind (see extra). The other extra was spotted in the gutter where I parked the car while shopping for bits and pieces I'd forgotten when filling my shopping list earlier — well, not totally forgotten: my first trip was too early to be able to buy alcohol and I really wanted to greet my visitors with a welcoming kir royale.
