A very special afternoon tea

Recently I was invited to attend a very special afternoon tea by a group of young women who were celebrating a birthday. The young women were special, because to a woman, they were full of joie de vivre and good humour. The location was the light filled atrium lounge of swish five star centre city hotel.
With crisp table linen, and customised porcelain, a most unusual afternoon tea, (which contained no tea at all!) was served with elegance and ingenuity.
