Christmas in the garden, in January

 

A combination of the weather, Covid, and Caroline, meant that the Christmas party in Arderne Gardens was deferred until January. Thank you Marilyn for organising a spectacular picnic in a beautiful, secluded, shady setting. It was a real tour de force. What could be more enjoyable than tea in a lovely garden, with good friends, talking about books?
