Chinese banquets and silky tunics

11am Preparation for new garment to wear to Chinese night at Duncans - this style perhaps??

1pm Rain still coming down sporadically outside, so I sewing it is!
3pm A brief break to check out the toadstool on front lawn
6:30pm Finished garment.
7pm At Duncans, for nibbles and then this assortment of Chinese food. That's Cathy the perfect hostess
8pm Girls helping themselves
8:10pm Ditto lads
9:30pm Chinese tea ceremony expertly done by Cathy and Gordon. This was between slides of China - their recent trip
All of us in a distant shot.

The amazing tea 'flower' that emerged and opened up with hot water poured on it. Then we drank the tea.

10:30 John still telling stories
10:31 Lycees and icecream and/or berries
Mmmmmm
