Well the first auspicious occasion passed memorably. I had the first of several callers around noon , good friend Marlene bearing a beautiful book wrapped in tapa cloth - a book about textile artists of NZ , right up my alley. I had made plenty of little sandwiches and had them almost ready . Started with a Bristol cream sherry which was also a birthday present.Then there was a ring at the door and there were Theresa and Sophia, with a bunch of pink roses and greenery and a nice present, a jewellery roll.
By the time they left and the next lot were expected I was feeling very tired as befits one of advancing years and had a little nap - my friend Pat Cowley came (a friend from St Marys Days) for afternoon tea, my friend and neighbour Margaret came too and there was quite a jolly atmosphere with lots of laughter. She left and then Pamela arrived w ith a lovely handmade card and some handcream. So you can see I was thoroughly spoiled. I had made some mini savoury muffins too and of course there was the piece de resistance - the Rocket Kitchen apricot almond cake . Gave people some to take home for their spouses in true kiwi party fashion and there was just a small wedge left by the end of the afternoon. Had another nap when they left in preparation for dinner out at Fortuna with another circle of friends.
