Paul Rowley has his own collection of Vintage Cups & Saucers which looked perfect on the tables
The Gold Room as always looked quite splendid
We'd dressed the marble tables with two lovely candleabras dressed with fresh orchids & Skimmia
The guests started to arrive Janet & Karen looking very festive
The totally brilliant Howard Wing entertained the ladies & gents whilst they sipped their mulled wine in the entrance hall

Chef Paul Rowley prepared our gourmet afternoon tea

Afternoon Tea
I started off with a Fireplace arrangement
It looked perfect on one of the Fireplaces
And everyone seemed to like it
Howard & I joined in with a tiny bit of eating and who wouldn't?
Then he sang to me which was lovely...
Then we danced...
And danced....

Paul Rowley brought out the cakes
Paul is a bit of heart throb himself, now can you all imagine having Paul, Howard, Jonny, Ben oh yes & Jason in the same room, there was also a gorgeous French Man Philippe from David Austin but for some reason Jonny hasn't photographed him perhaps the competition was too great!
But perhaps he isn't quite as popular as his cakes!
Or ours 
Or ours 
The table centres were created with David Austin Roses, Anthuriums & Orchids
Jason & Jess sold raffle tickets with proceeds going to The Hospice
