Saturday June 27th, 2015, 33 Westbourne
An afternoon (15:00 onwards)
and evening of Fun, Food and Friends for Peter's 69th time round the sun.
It's a scandinavian thing, "a coffee and cake party" to celebrate the mid-summer.
Peter said - "No gifts - thanks - cards are good"!
What is it?
We are aiming mid-way between a full blown
Smörgåsbord
and a
fika,
i.e. a bit like an English High Tea
but with lots more cake.
But it's summer and we might want to linger in the balmy English evening, so there will be something a little more filling as well.
So we will:
- make sure there is real bread, crackers, paté, cheese and the odd quiche and salad, and some nuts and fruit to nibble and munch.
- also make sure there is a selection of teas for anyone who doesn't want alcohol or coffee, and a selction of soft drinks as well.
We might even find the glasses that we used last year!
- also provide 'doggy bags' for cake lovers.
Please would you:
- bring some cake or muffins or Danish pastries and some booze.
If it's home-made, take a photo and send it to me for the website.
