Afternoon Tea Party 25th May 2023
  

Hello everybody. Just thought I would write a few words about our lovely May outing organised by Gill.

A quite large group of us arrived at Haskins Garden Centre just outside of Worthing on the 25th May 2023 all looking very hungry. We were warmly welcomed by Gill and Clare at the entrance who were twisting our arms to sign up to July’s outing to Chichester Festival Theatre for a backstage tour followed by a pub lunch. Anything that involves food – count me in!

Anyway, back to yesterday. We had exclusive use of a side room which was already laid out for us and looking very decorative with a beautiful orchid on every table. Every plate had an extremely large scone served with butter, clotted cream and 2 little pots of jam. Also three more cakes and as much tea as we could drink. The staff were very accommodating and helpful and offered doggy bags for any uneaten cakes. Apparently there were some greedy-guts who managed to eat everything, but I’m mentioning no names !!! Bob

By 4.30 pm the garden centre seemed to be emptying so it seemed the right time for us to leave too and hopefully get home before the 5 o’clock rush. It was definitely a lovely way to spend an afternoon, so thank you again Gill.
