HighTea

High Tea is definitely one of my favourite things to do! Love taking my daughter to HighTea which is our thing we love to do each year. Also loved taking my Nieces for HighTea as they transitioned to high school.

And today went to HighTea with my best friend. Went to QVB which is my favourite!

HighTea defined as “the British tradition of drinking tea while sitting in high-backed chairs at a table full of plated items such as cold meats, vegetables, pickled fish, potatoes, salads, pies, tarts, homemade bread or crackers with butter, teacakes and fruitcakes”.

I love the ambience, the setting, the Old World beauty, the chairs, the chandeliers, the gold wallpaper.

I love the sandwiches, the egg sandwiches, the salmon sandwiches. I love the savoury and I love the sweet treats and I love the scones with the jam and cream.

There is a part of me that would love to explore and venture into other HighTea venues and enjoy other HighTea experiences and yet the QVB HighTea brings me Joy, and it is guaranteed.

Now I am keen to take my hubby to High Tea. Definitely keen for him to enjoy the fancy sandwiches and little cakes.

So glad I was able to take my best friend there today for her Birthday. Such a Joy-filled day for us.

I Choose Joy

Today is Mother’s Day 2020 - I love being a Mum and I love celebrating special occasions with my beautiful family - I am blessed.

As a Mum there is so much to do and so much to get done. As a Mum I am on a Mission to be the best Mum I can be - this is what is most important to me. I do love the word Mission, defined as “an important goal or purpose that is accompanied by strong conviction”.

Today I am setting a simple Mission for the year ahead - to be Joyful or Joy Filled.

I love the word Joyful, defined as “experiencing, causing or showing Joy”. I also love the idea of Joy Filled - where the word Fill means “to make, to become full, to use empty space”, and Joy means “delight, pleasure, happiness” and to be filled with Joy means “to be extremely happy, content, to be delighted”.

I love when you feel Joy - it is felt in the heart - it lights you up and warms your heart and creates an imprint in our memory.

I will be actively choosing and pursuing Joy, and deliberating creating Joy to colour our days and nights.

I am making a commitment to write 100 posts over the next one year, two per week, as an opportunity to record my thoughts, insights, discoveries. This is my journey and I write these posts to be the best Mum I can be - it is not intended to give advice - it is my brave process and adventure, and this Blog is about keeping me accountable too.

I am actively going to pursue Joy Starters and be conscious of, and proactive with, the Joy Robbers. And I want to teach my children the importance of Joy too. I really want my children to be happy and Joyful, where each night as we go to sleep we are at peace.

I am hoping that when I reach Mother’s Day 2021, I will look back on the year and really feel that it was Joyful, and that in this process I learn new tips and tricks for my life.
