Don't these elegant stained glass windows make a beautiful entrance?!
They belong to the Carrington- a grand hotel in the historic Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia.
Down the vast corridors under high vaulted ceilings we sauntered,
and peered into stately rooms as we passed by on our way
to meet up with some old friends who were eager to show us
the wonderfully appointed tea-room,
where a very large and long table was set and waited for the delicious repast to come.
Everything in this historic hotel is on a grand scale - those gorgeous blue urns are as tall as me!!
(Excuse me if I look a little messy..I couldn't see in the mirror to fix my hair I'm afraid!)
We couldn't stay on for tea unfortunately, but here is pretty setting I found in a shop nearby.
We'll certainly return to the lovely Carrington Hotel and enjoy High Tea there one day!

ReplyDeleteHow are you, dear Trish? Haven't "seen" you for so long!
That is one place I would love to visit. I might have to see if I can visit it the next time I am in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for sharing and allowing me along on your trip from the comfort of my lounge chair.
Hello dear friend,
ReplyDeleteI must begin by telling you that I love the new look of your blog and header, so pretty!
What a lovely spot to have a cup of tea! Gorgeous place; love the windows! It must have a lot of history. The china is lovely!
So happy you've joined me for tea today. I was going to wish you a happy Spring but then it hit me that you are entering Autumn. So, Happy Autumn! Enjoy your week.
Blessings and hugs,
Sandi
The entrance way alone would draw me to this tea room and then to see the inside! I hope you will return for tea and share it with us.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see what they serve for tea there! What a beautiful place. I loved the entrance windows ( i make leaded
ReplyDeletestained glass myself, but not on that scale) especially the sparing use of bright coloured glass against plentiful the transparent.
Thanks for the tour!
Blessings to you, Trish.
