You can never have enough...

Surely it would've been up to the adult guests to check with their hostess as to whether their kids would be included in an afternoon nibbles/ afternoon tea fundraiser?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I never assumed my offspring was an automatic inclusion to such events. Mind you, back then kids were seen but not heard in a very different way to today's expectations. I know watching them at my favourite deli cafe I have to make sure my eyebrows stay firmly on the level. They seem to want to climb along with the volume of some children demanding fluffies and other treats.

I am definitely turning into a grumpy old woman, lol...

We all received an invitation in our letter boxes to a street garden afternoon tea party - 4pm to 7pm for all the neighbours and her art group to get together and fund raise for the hospice -  to wear your best party dress - no alcohol - we have had numerous street parties which she has attended there are very few children in our street .A party company arrived in the morning and decorated the garden with big blow up pink flamingos that swayed in the wind - strings of coloured circles between the trees they were beautiful  and lots of other stuff not Christmasy - must say the canapés were bloody lovely - I followed the trays of food around - I found it sad seeing the children coming to the gate all dressed up and being told no - her art is superb

Ahhh, a street party is a slightly different business, especially with open invites, that makes it a public event. No wonder the kids got excited. 

Bet she doesn't do that again, silly woman.
