A Mini High Tea in Groningen

Last week I'd taken Friday morning off work to spend a day with my mom in Groningen, the town where I used to go to university back in the day;) Had not really been there since then, so when I got a coupon for my birthday from my sister in law for a Mini High Tea and there weren't any places in my own town that served it, mom and I decided to ( Read more... )

I love all the tiles and the art nouveau! And well done to you and your mum for getting through all that cake!

There were so many different types of tiles and buildings. I really want to go back for another stroll with my camera.
It was a tough job, but we managed *grins*

You posted that cake plate to IG, if I remember correctly? Still as yummy as the first time I saw it!!! And the photos of you and your Mom's feet is a thing, eh? Glad you had a fun Friday!

Yes, I posted it on Twitter as soon as I got home:) Gosh, I'm drooling all over again just looking at them, they were all so very delicious.

I love these photos. What a mix of architecture; old and new.

I think the next time I go into the city I might do the same thing.

Thank you:) Groningen is indeed a city that has it all; that museum is all sorts of modern and then the center of town has all these old buildings, definitely worth a revisit.
