Last week I spent a day in the waiting room while Ford mended my car – I came prepared with a book, my lunch, a mug and a handful of tea bags, as I knew it would take them a while to do the work, but to my surprise I got something on top of [...]

I was in Melbourne for a conference recently, and some of the other ladies and I (I don’t care what the boys say – we are ladies and if they deny it one more time its a stiletto right through the foot!) decided that what we needed between sessions was High Tea. Never mind the [...]

Room with Roses is one of the most adorable venues I have ever had the pleasure to attend. The decor is delightful – you really feel as if you have been wafted back to the 1800s. I had an urge to rush off and find a long dress to wear! The roses on all [...]

If you have been good, and sat through a boring movie at Southbank… or, if you’ve seen a really good one and want to celebrate, there is a great High Tea establishment right in the complex.

Most years at Christmas we visit family in Sydney.
Most years, I take the opportunity to sneak away and have some time away from the kids – they are having a ball with their cousins anyway. To my husband’s horror, I have this stirling ability to find a High Tea establishment wherever we are.
