I had received an invitation earlier in the week to join Maree to partake of dark brown cake at Mrs Gates. Now this is what Sunday's all about, so up to Cutters Corn I went.
The first thing to do is to take along a gift so I snapped one of her roses from the front garden to hand to her as I arrived. Then I realise how pretty they were so I snapped a photo also
The poinsettia looked lovely as I walked in so I took a photo of that also
They were well on the way, so I had to squeeze in and eat all the chocolate biccies very quickly.
...as you can see from the photo, Mrs Gate takes afternoon tea very seriously indeed. But when she was about to cut the tortilla with melted cheese, I said STOP!
I was having an afternoon tea at Flagstaff at 3pm and as I had done nothing at all about it, I thought that I would take Mrs Gate's tortilla with me. Maree by this time had collapsed into giggles but Mrs Gate with her usual serenity just wrapped the plate in alfoil and sent me on my way! They are simply delicious, this pair.
