High tea at the Observatory Hotel! Hosted by my friend, the Vintage Queen, it was delightful fun. Alas, I forgot to take photos of the interior design and lighting! Oops. Usually one of my favourite parts of food blogging. High tea takes place in the …
After Phamish, the Chief and I ventured on a search for some good dessert. We took a short walk up to Oxford St and the Chief recommended the Falconer. It was warm and cosy inside, a very welcome shelter from the rain beating down outside. …
