tea room 36 - Teh Alpine Chalet

[UniS]

Welcome to the Tea rooms newest incarnation. A cozy log cabin with a roaring log fire, comfy chintz sofas and a dedicated man about the house, our Butler, Mellors. Out of the windows you can see sparkling white snow gently drifted up under the green Christmas trees and bright blue skies. Children can all be packed off to play healthy outdoor stuff while we stay snug n warm in here with our mulled wine, tea,artisan hot chocolate and other beverages served in mugs, glasses or buckets.

The usual rules apply - no fisticuffs. And no messing with the aspidistra.

tea please.

Hmm - it looks like we are going to have to move tea rooms again soon.
Any ideas for where to go?

I thought these might brighten the place up :)

How about a tasteful table set out in a bluebell wood somewhere - with later flowers coming on to take over...

Sounds good do far. Beech woods with their elegant grey trunks?

Definitely. Buds just bursting with a smattering of beautiful light green leaves that you can see the sun through...

So long as the aspidistra comes - and it has a priesthole.

?Pulls the secret trap door up and sweeps the lavender scented hay pile down into the priesthole, then noses the special donki blanket and soft hand crocheted pillow after the hay. Picks up bucket of tea (kindly filled by Mellors) and heads downstairs, ears drooping?

You okay, Donki?

I'll be ok - just finding it hard at the moment.

::refills Donki's galvanised bucket of tea::

Is there anything we can do Donki?

Should we practice our le Creuset-swinging techniques?

I think plenty of frying pan swinging practise would be helpful Lush!

Well, there are several of us here. And has anyone ever attempted to count the NMBs?

I think the NMBs must all have gone off to North Leeds.
They are getting really good at formation Le Creuset work!

Thanks for the tea Lush

They've got the wrong car again Donki - but I've let them know that they've gone astray and I can't see any of them anymore....

Sorry about that MT

leans down In to priest hole to get slice of carrot cake. ta donki.

I'm dreadful for comfort eating... I think it's all gone Unis. Sorry.

It was a very good carrot cake, too.

I'd better come out and get ready for school pick-up time.

Good heavens!

Look at all the treats Mellors has left on the sideboard.
It looks like he's really gone to town on afternoon tea.

ohhhhh salted caramel filled macaroons.

:: unis brews up huge vat of carrot and corriader soup::
See you at lunch time donki. Thinking of you.

That smells good UniS - it has even tempted me back out of the priesthole!
