September in Wellington can be a rather interesting month. Start of spring – lovely days, warmer weather, bitterly cold Southerly gales, heaps of rain. And often the entire lot in the space of a day.
Which makes it the perfect time to plan inside activities with friends, such as high tea. 😉
(And yes, it was rainy and windy outside. Perfect weather to get dressed up, eat small treats and drink pots of tea while chatting about sewing.)
I’d bought a discount voucher off one of those daily deal sites for a cute little retro-themed cafe that specialises in high teas. (I admit it – I find it hard to resist deals for high tea. I really enjoy taking time out to sit and chat with friends over cups of tea, and turning it into an “occasion” such as high tea makes it a lot easier to commit to finding time for it.)
It was a very lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a rainy Spring day. The food was (as always) delicious, the tea plentiful, and the company fantastic and inspiring. (Gotta love hanging out with other sewing people – I always come away with even more things I want to make!)
And since I had my camera there (for garment photos afterwards), here’s a bunch of photos from the cafe….

Yay! High tea with friends and even better sewing friends. It was really good, especially the cup cakes and choc mousse! 🙂
How fun!! I wish high tea were a thing here… it seems like a great way to spend an afternoon!
What a great way to spend the day – High tea with sewing buddies 🙂
