LADIES WHO LUNCH...

Camera shutters and cake, what more could a blogging girl ask for?

Mum and I have set ourselves a mission...to try every afternoon tea in the vicinity of Cardiff. Today we treated ourselves to a gorgeous one at Jolyons at No.10... no not Downing Street, Cathedral Road.

After promising to teach mum some tricks of the makeup trade, see the final look at Yonks here, we headed out to an afternoon of Pink Prosecco and cake.

Jolyons, a large Victorian Residence on one of Cardiff's most salubrious avenues, has now been converted into a Boutique Hotel, kitted out with some beautiful interior design which is reminiscent of a French Country Manor.

Sitting in the large bay window, we sat taking in the view waiting for our platter of goodness to arrive...

 I was also more than pleasantly surprised by the cutest little duck shaped cakes...

"CHEERS"

Plenty of chit-chat and champagne later it was time for home.

I have a feeling we shall be returning soon however...

A LOT TO CELEBRATE

Its been a busy week preparing for my 22nd birthday, along with me getting ready for the launch of my new blog, but here we are, and boy do we have a lot to celebrate!

The celebrations have gotten off to a special start with me being treated to afternoon tea at The Angel Hotel with my beautiful mother. What better way to get things going than with a plate full of cakey delights.

As we entered The Angel Hotel we were greeted by some beautiful decor. I especially liked the little angry looking fellas on all the door handles...

RAWRRR!

Finally we were seated at our table and before we knew it the champagne and the tea was flowing...

After a lot of girly gossip and a couple of glasses of champagne later, it was home to prepare for the big night out on Saturday. That means, makeup, hair, nails and a lot of outfit changes. Its a hard life being a girl but I'll be sure to keep you updated on the progress.
