Morning Tea

During the week it's difficult to find time for a get-together with friends, especially in the afternoons. And as I liked to have an Afternoon Tea, it seemed impossible to organize. But then I came up with the idea of a Morning Tea (why not?) and so it happened!!

A lovely sunny September morning
'Brabants bont' (the red & white checkered tablecloths are typical for the region we live in ) on the tables, all kinds of china, various drinks, lots of sweets (homemade) & friends to join the party!

 

It was such a beautiful day! Sun, friends, food, what else do we need?

 

Atelier des Chefs & more...

Last Wednesday we gathered 8 ladies together for a nice day in Paris.

We started with coffee, macarons & a beautiful view on the rooftop terrace of 'un des grands magasins':

Le Printemps in the 9th arrondissement.

 

And once your in Printemps, you definitely should go to their restrooms: Point WC!

It's not the cheapest restroom in Paris but it's a clean & fancy one!

For 2 euros you can make use of the Japanese toilet, you can adapt the temperature of the toilet seat as well as the water temperature.

I'm sure there are more gadgets on this toilet, but I couldn't figure that out quickly enough...

Go and try it yourself!

The Japanese toilet together with a very modern & colourful design,

make it almost a pleasure to go to the loo...

After this experience we headed to the Atelier des Chefs, where we had lunch...

But first we had to work!

In about an hour time, we prepared our own lunch, guided by a Chef.

Funny enough, the Chef that lead our 'workshop/lunch' last Wednesday was a guy that

participated in Top Chef 2011, a succesfull TV program that I followed as much as I could.

Hereunder an impression of the day:

And yes, I made pictures, but worked too... Here's the proof of it!!

Thanks Ann, Anette, Anette, Claudie, Corry, Eline & Maud for this lovely day...

It's definitely one that I will cherish!

Bisous,
