Afternoon Tea

By Rubytuesday
I spent the last few days in Dublin with my mother and aunt
On Wednesday we went for our much anticipated afternoon tea
It was a shocker of a day with torrential rain so I didn't get to wear my pretty dress and had to settle for a cardigan and trousers
Instead of me telling you all about it, I think I will just post the photos
Enjoy.....

Grafton Street, Dublin


Warming up on the train



Our table


I love this dinky little sugar lump tongs


Pouring like a pro!


Itty bitty sandwiches and goat's cheese cones



Trying to  be sophisticated (and failing)



Miniature cakes including chocolate pots and macaroons


Just one more


Enjoying white chocolate moose with raspberries









My mother, my uncle, me and my auntie B

I had been quite anxious about going away for the few days
Mostly because of food
We stayed with my uncle and one of the first things he said to us was that the flush on the toilet was dodgy so that was purging out of the question
The night we arrived they had made dinner for us
Lasagne
When he said that word it struck fear in to my heart
I haven't eaten lasagne in years
I really pushed myself
Probably a lot more than I was comfortable with
My hands were actually shaking as I ate
I managed almost half of the portion
Then came the hard part
Not purging
I tried so hard to sit there and look normal and make conversation
But there was a war going on inside my head
My ED screamed at me at the top of her lungs
'You fat pig, look how much you have eaten
You are going to pay for this and you will pay in pounds'
I don't quite know how I got through that meal but I did
Now I'm terrified to weigh tomorrow
I'm glad  I went though
There were some good moments
I'm so tired now so I will bid you goodnight
