Yesterday, my students of English Conversation
took me to lunch at a lovely café in our vicinity...
It features an English styled garden,
with a pathway to roses, seasonal flowers, herbs, and grasses...
Inside, are the dining rooms, with outdoor terraces.
First, we were served a cold rose hip tea
that was very refreshing
after our walk in the humidity
and heat of the rainy season.
The food was delicious,
and my students and I enjoyed the lunch,
served with freshly baked
raisin & cranberry bread.
I loved the beautiful English-style crockery;
teacups & saucers, & teapots
all daintily hand-painted with roses...
After lunch, we walked through the garden.
Although peak time for roses was in May,
we were still able to see and smell
a few beauties :
