tuesday afternoon we combined a trip to camden road with tea and buying the forthcoming charity golf day prizes . hester, marie, helen, lucille and jean agreed to come out for the afternoon and at 'le rendevous' enjoyed warm pastries and lots of tea, reading the papers and watching the world go by. marie took a trip to the sewing centre and hester visited the blue moon gallery and spent a very happy hour there discussing art with the delightful assistant.

ZOO TIME!
