What a lovely day. It was so refreshing to have something to plan for and enjoy!
At the previous evening's Clap for Carers, our next door neighbour shouted out to everyone to decorate our houses and prepare an afternoon tea for 3pm on Friday.
The husband only needed a gentle nudge to go into the loft to find the bag of bunting and ex-Diamond Jubilee (2013) serviettes etc whilst I set out about making a chocolate cake to my Mum's recipe (always a winner).
Here's the result of his hard work:
We set up our afternoon tea table at the edge of the pavement, whilst the neighbours did the same. Egg mayonnaise sandwiches with the crusts cut off and sliced into fingers, the home-made chocolate cake and Prosecco (provided by the next-door neighbour). We kept to our social distancing but much fun was had. So few cars about that we could chat easily. There were about a dozen of us enjoying the sunshine and the relaxation. A barbecue is being planned under similar conditions :D
My sister walked down from her house to sit on the other side of the wall, and she provided biscuits. Another neighbour walked down to the garage shop and returned with Cornettos and lager! What a lovely day! Such a good community.
