Day ten: A rose...

Day ten: ...petal, there, there

A morning of work, followed by an excursion to the city with a friend to, well, just spend an afternoon in the city. As a child, it was always exciting to go into town with mum and nan, visit David Jones (or Grace Bros, it was Sydney) the highlight of which was afternoon tea at the in-store cafeteria...such sophistication for a five-year-old. 


Petals awaiting transformation

Four decades later, 'sophistication' is defined a little differently though we still enjoy 'taking tea' at a particular shop in town. My friend is a long-standing tea drinker whereas I am learning to appreciate the fine art. Quite a contrast in tea and coffee drinking cultures in town...but I do enjoy the relaxing opportunity. Rose petals feature quite a bit in different teas...I presently have a canister of rose petals, a gift. You can use them in all sorts of things apparently...I'm looking forward to the culinary promise.
