Guest entry - Bree dog's blog! (on high tea)

High tea for the laydees... oh and Michael!

Yo yo yo... So after most of our truckm companions left Livingstone and deserted us for another tour with Acacia, we slowly dried our tears and decided to head for some dessert ourselves!!!

Of we (Sarah, Rayna, Emz, T-dog, Michael and myself) drove to the Royal Livingstone Hotel for high tea. Being the incredible laydees we are we all opted to wear dresses and jazz it up a little bit. Sadly Michael decided not to join us in the dress wearing, however he did scrub up nicely with a freshly trimmed beard!

We arrived and waltzed in, quickly ordering an array of brewed teas from the menu! We were then escorted into heaven! We were seriously like kids in a candy store. The food before us was to die for and incredibly decedant - not to mention scrumptious - and yes we did sample everything - there were cakes, tarts, scones, muffins and savouries! The boys who took the other tour would have thought it was 'well tidy' (sorry guys you did miss you), although there was no strawberry cheesecake for Mole!

Anyway we 'sipped' and 'stuffed' for most of the afternoon, stopping inbetween rounds for a leisurely swim and some exercise to help our tummies (now food babies) for even more cake in!

As the sun started to go down we decided to retire to the river bar for some cocktails. Continuing our posh lady theme we chose pimms - yum yum - though could have been stronger.

We were given some fancy nibbles and chilled out in peaceful bliss but not for long - little did we know that we were being spied on out of the trees - a 'blue balled' monkey jumped up on our table and with two swipes stealthily stole the nibbles and ran off - he sure was ballsy!!!

We sat with stunned giggles and wished we'd caught it on camera. in a group effort of brilliance we tried to lure the monkey back! At this stage we had no idea monkeys loved to drink as much as us - but before long another monkey joined us at the table and took a fancy to T-dog's cocktail - T-dog wasn't going to give up her delicious pimms without a fight, so proceeded to have a tug of war match with the monkey - luckily it was a lot littler than the first! T-dog stood strong and won the battle and happily escaped without any bites or scratches!

Ahhhh a day in the life of a 'posh laydee' is very hard indeed - take me back to camping anyday!!! hahah

Peace out yo

Bree xx
