Tea Party Fun

Today, I went to a tea party at my friends' house from uni. I've never been to a tea party before but I know it's what sophisticated people do because you have cute little sandwiches, cute cakes and lots of lovely, yummy tea. I had an absolute ball and Sarah is the tea party hosting queen. She had such fine china for us to eat off and the most adorable, antique tea cups and saucers that I was amazed. And what was more amazing was that she found them in a charity shop for a brilliant price of £2 for a set of 6. They really looked like they cost so much more.

I have tea cup and saucer envy...

These were not the exact tea cups but they looked like this, if not exactly like this. How darling are they?

From the Christmas songs in the background, to the delightful company of my 4 best friends from uni and the sweet yummy cakes, it was simply divine. I think that every person should have a tea party because it is so much fun. You might think that I'm a little crazy to think this but I'm not. It really is. If you have the right kind of friends that you can just talk to about anything and everything, a tea party is great because you can have it in the middle of the day - people who aren't night owls are more likely to join. You don't need alcohol - people who don't drink are more likely to join. Everyone loves tea, cakes and sandwiches and if you don't, you're weird. And it is fun to just spend the time relaxing with your friends.

I am still slightly ill but this tea party just made me feel heaps better. Not just because I consumed my body weight in sugar but also because I was surrounded by people who make me laugh and make me smile. They truly are people that I feel I fit in with the group. I'm not just an accessory. I have very few times in my life when I've really felt part of a group naming only about 3 times, with my friends from high school, my friends from my house at uni and now my friends at uni where I am now. All the other times, I've always felt I've been a tag along to an already formed group and I hate that feeling.

Random thought of the blog: I've never been on a bus by myself before but today I experienced it...

It was a fabulous Saturday and I really enjoyed it. I'm now sitting trying to do some uni work because I have my final conference on Monday which will give me my placement grade but I don't really want to. I'm also being a saddo and waiting for the x Factor final. Who says Saturday nights are wild? ...

I love you all, what have you done this Saturday?

I hope you're having a wild time, even if you are just sitting in.

I'll see you tomorrow!

CHEERIOOOOOO
