Teatime Tuesday March 8

I can't believe that I haven't posted a teatime post since last October...
Well Summer is over in the Blue Mountains near Sydney Australia...
Definitely an Autumn chill up here... time for those mid morning pots of tea with a cosy... on the verandah or in the garden if there is some sunshine...




This little table is right outside french doors from our bedroom, I picked a few of the last flush of Summer roses on Saturday and enjoyed a pot of tea here today.





This is a lovely VINTAGE cup and saucer {I also have a matching teaplate} from Royal Vale. Pink roses seemed appropriate today. The other tennis set you can see in one of the top photos is "Roses to Remember" by Royal Stafford- both are vintage bone china made in England.

I'm hoping to link into Tuesday Tablescape with marty (A Stroll Thru Life) http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com
and Teacup Tuesday with Terri @ http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com
and Martha's Favorites @ http://www.marthasfavorites.com
but will have to wait for Tuesday to arrive in their part of the world.
Marty is away looking after her grandson, so I don't know whether her linky will be up.

Tea on the verandah & the garden

It rained again last night and the garden looked so fresh, I just had to sit and have a cup of tea [in my vintage American Beauty teacup] on the front verandah. Of course I couldn't resist getting out the mobile phone and taking some photos [I find it so easy to use and it automatically downloads when plugged into computer].

I started with the teaset on table, then the view of garden from where I was sitting, then I walked around the garden again 'snapping' roses and started pulling weeds out while the ground was soft from the rain.

new buds
new pelargonium cuttings planted in the old wheelbarrow
it used to have pansies each year
but now needs something that will survive on rainfall
and last from year to year

along the fence line

some of those weeds...why do they grow so well?

The next 3 show the rose that climbs over the front gate



Have a beautiful day! See you again soon!
