Tea and Kittens

My neighbour invited us to her new house at 4pm for a traditional English afternoon tea. It is the girls' first experience with tea time etiquette. :) Never too young to learn - which side the tea cup should be, how to place your fork and knife, eating the savouries first before the sweets,... :) Afternoon Tea was most delicious with savoury muffins, fresh berries tarts, and carrot cakes. :)
At the same time, we saw the three kittens that she has adopted: Magpie, Magnet and Mao. They are really adorable. They were really shy at first but slowly, Mao and Magpie got used to us and would stay in the same room as us. Marieann and Juliane played with them and being bolder, Marieann even managed to stroked Mao. Magnet is the most shy of the three and he only came into the room after his dinner at 6+ pm.

The girls and I really enjoyed the afternoon with the great company (with both humans and kittens) and the delicious afternoon tea.
