This morning I celebrated my birthday in style with the 642.4 Gang by having high tea at The Hyatt (Canberra's "historic hotel", built in 1926). The food (of course) was delicious:
(Unfortunately, by the time we got back to these yummy looking strawberry pastries they'd all gone so we didn't get to try them):
They had wonderful looking mini pears which I was told I had to take a photo of:
And here are two (of many!) reasons why I love The Hyatt so much:1. The staff are all dressed in 1920s style uniforms (this is Fred the Doorman)
And the Hotel itself is is very Prairie School style which I have a new appreciation of after my trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings in Chicago this time last year....

Happy, happy birthday. High tea looks wonderful as usual. :)

Well it's not actually my birthday until Thursday but since the other 3 of the 642.4 Gang have kids, doing something on the nearest free weekend worked out much better than trying to round everyine up on a week day.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kara - if you'd included a birthday present in your parcel then I wouldn't have been allowed to open it yet!
I swear, your blog should be sponsored by the Australian Tourist Bureau. Every time you post a picture, it makes me want to get on a plane.
