Hooray! I thought this day would never arrive. Finally! Time for some tea, some treats and a good old-fashioned catch-up. Come in, come in. Let me take your coats. It's a brisk little morning out there, yes? The fire's on, so make yourselves comfortable. Grab a seat wherever you can. I'll just pop into the kitchen and put the kettle on and get some lovely tea brewing for us. I've gone all out with proper real tea leaves! Fancy schmancy.
I have a very dear blogging friend popping in later in the morning with a wonderful story about cake. Make sure you stick around.
And I know you can't wait to get stuck into that delicious hummingbird cake up there. The recipe will be yours later this afternoon.
Ooh, is that another knock on the door...
Did you get a chance to check out the fantastic giveaway? Are you having morning tea at your place this morning? What's your favourite blend - English breakfast or Earl Grey?

Oh so fun! Its late afternoon here. But I love both types of tea....mmmm. I think since it is the afternoon I will have Earl Grey. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Greer! I love English Breakfast in the morning and Earl Grey in the afternoon. I would love a slice of that cake with my tea please xo
ReplyDeleteCan't believe it's time for morning tea at your house again...that year went fast!! My absolute favourite is English Breakfast and such a special treat to have real leaf tea....now I just need to be able to drink it hot!!
ReplyDeleteOh I'll grab that chair by the fire thanks - I can't get warm this morning... Now I know Lola is at school, where are those other delicious munchkins of yours so I can give them a hug? And yes to a big slice of cake. I'm going to be here for a while... x
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea, Greer! I quite like English Breakfast - and that cake looks divine!
ReplyDeleteMy morning tea isn't available till 11:00 am, an hour away, so do you mind if I join you for a while? The fire sounds lovely, Sydney is vaguely sunny but not very warm. I have Irish Breakfast as I need something to get me going.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow I'll ask a friend from Mittagong to come with me. Is that fine with you? And I might even have a poke around in that wool shop on the highway and get something to bring too. I've never yet been inside that shop, although I am down there regularly.
That cakes look yummy! It would have to be earl grey for me. We're off to a friends with a cake in hand - see you this afternoon :) x
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy Irish Breakfast :) An occasional Earl Grey in the afternoon suits me well too. Your morning tea looks fab Greery! Have the best time and please eat a slice for me :) Love Ruey xx
ReplyDeleteHummingbird cake is my favourite, how did you know!? xo
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I was there in real life! It all sounds...and looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, nice to have come across your blog. Shame I missed out on your great giveaway! Will be trying the little pear and raspberry cakes this week. Best wishes, Alison
ReplyDeleteOh that tea cozy! Oh that cake! OK Greer I hope you've got the kettle on I'm here for cake! Says the woman who just got back from a grueling PT session at the gym!
