In honour of the anniversary of the birth of Lady Anna, a high tea was enjoyed by all members of the House of Cluver. Great Grandma Bean's china and Great Aunt Leila's silver, linens, (faux) flowers, tea with milk and sugar, lemonade, sweets, and savories. Classical music for mood. We are twenty months away from when we are permitted to apply for U.S. citizenship for the children. And why not start at the VERY beginning of American experiences with something pre-Revolution . . . a rather British gathering.
The brothers were, uh, delighted (wink) to dress up and tuck flowers into their shirts, to use their best manners, and then, afterward, to help Daddy with the dishes.
The post-tea movie night and slumber party made for some good relaxation to end the eve.
