The posh part of the "Festival of Helen"

Parliament House High Tea...... Friday 11th 

The day didn't start very well really.... big storm the day before, no electricity  for 24 hours so I had to go to Sandi's house for a shower, couldn't go to parliament house all stinky.... 
it's great to have friends so close.

It turned out to be a super wonderful day spent with amazing ladies......
even being 70 didn't seem so bad after all.


A fabulous setting for High Tea in this  building.


We enjoyed our High Tea in the 
"Strangers Dining Room"
Stranger is my maiden name and we sat at table 9 which is my birthday date......
how spooky is that.....


Great music to set the scene....


A terrific surprise to have "Happy Birthday"  written in chocolate on the plate....


Champagne of course


yummie tarts.....



We also had a tour of the old building and photos were a no no unfortunately.......
So much to see.... Chandeliers ...staircases and  gorgeous old furniture....
the old library with a Christmas display was amazing and to sit in the place of power was just great, of course Sandi had to sit in the Speaker's Chair......

What a fabulous bunch of girls to enjoy my special Birthday with.

We were all so posh and well behaved..... even me.....

Thank you girls for making my day so wonderful.....
I felt very special and turning 70 ended up being lots of fun...
I might turn 70 again next year ...... watch out.....


Here we are home again.....


I can't say enough about you girls really..... or could I hmmmmm.....

nah just kiddin'

Thank you soooooo much for organising and making this all sooooo special

I've said it before and I'll say it again.....

 I do have the best friends in the whole wide world....
Love you girls.....

Toodles....
