Silver and Gold

It finally came together!
I've been talking about planning an event for bloggers in London all year.
It finally came together and what an amazing afternoon!


Do you remember that little song from your days in the Girl Scouts?
It came into my head during our tea and really has me thinking about friendships, old and new.

When life moves you around, you learn at a young age that sometimes friends come and go.
You've heard the saying that some friends are for a season.   It's sad but all too often true.

Then there are some friends that become a part of you.
No matter how far away or how long it's been they are always in your heart.
 Saturday was about new friends and today I'm thinking of old friends.

To my old friends,  I miss you and love you.
I hope you know that even if I haven't told you lately.

To my new friends, thank you so much for making life in London so much brighter.

Let me introduce you to the wonderful ladies that attended our afternoon tea.
Twenty bloggers and ten countries represented.  How amazing is that?


 
Thank you so much, Ladies.
I hope that you had a wonderful time and made some great new connections.
I've add a link for your posts about the Tea so please link up below. 

for taking such great care of us (and for the complimentary bubbly).
And thank you to the lovely ladies at AfternoonTea.co.uk 
for helping me with the venue.

I'd love to make this a quarterly event so watch this space.
