Wonderings on a Tea Party

There you are, come with me, I have a surprise for you.

Follow me into the woods.  The breeze is cool on our skin and the trees whisper softly, telling tales of all that they have seen and wondering on all that is yet to happen.  Don't listen to close though, they might spoil the surprise.

 Over the fairy bridge we go, careful of those naughty little pixies, we don't want to end up being pushed into the water by the cheeky things. 

Here we are at the boathouse.  Over the rustling of trees and the singing of the birds, music can be heard faintly in the background.  Have you guessed what the surprise is yet?

Yes!  It's a tea party!

Would you like some tea?  It always seems to taste so much nicer when it's made in a pot.

How about I cut you a nice big slice of cake?

Yummy, I do love a tea party.  Sharing tea and cakes with friends, gossiping and laughing.

Today is such  special day that even Joseph the Duck has come out to play.  He certainly looks very dapper in his coat, he's in pink especially for the party.

Shall we dance?  Have you got your special dancing shoes on?

Twisting, spinning, skipping and twirling.  Laughing as we dance, our skirts swishing around our legs and our jewellery chiming it's own little tune to the music.

Shhhh look over there.  It seems we have a visitor.

One of those naughty little pixies must have followed us when we crossed the fairy bridge.  If there is one thing that pixies love more than causing mischief it's eating cake.  Lets just pretend we don't know he's here, there is plenty of cake to go around.

Phewee all that dancing and cake has left me feeling a little queasy.  Lets kick of our shoes and take a walk in the garden.

I do the love the feel of soft grass on my bare feet.  I think the garden must have heard we were coming, she has certainly put on a beautiful show for us.

The flowers look and smell beautiful.

Shall we go back to the party, I think I'm ready for some more cake.  That's if the pixie hasn't eaten them all
