My new friend, Nanny, invited me to a tea party at Twisted Sisters Tea House. Lynne's friend made me an outfit for the occasion and I was so excited to get out of the house. I do love my work at the Bed & Breakfast, but all work and no fun could make Fauna a dull "chick". There are a lot of things to see and do in Chemainus and I like to dress up and paint the town.
If you are in Chemainus and get a chance you should visit the Twisted Sisters Tea House or maybe not. It isn't called Twisted Sisters by chance. John warned me to pick a day when they've taken their medicine that morning or you may end up with tea where you don't expect it. I guess this was a good day because they seemed okay to me, but then how would I know?
Nanny introduced me to the sisters, Debra and Teresa, and picked a table by the window for us.
She lives at the restaurant so she knows her way around the place. While we sipped our tea, Nanny told me about her charity work, raising money for the local food kitchen. I had heard that she is an Olympian but we didn't have time to talk about that today. Teresa served the tea at the party from a fine china tea pot. Nanny chose Buckingham Palace Garden Party tea flavored with bergamot and jasmine for the occasion. She's had more experience than I in that field. Lynne has some special teas at the B&B, but I don't get to eat with guests there. John does, but not me. Go figure!
I'm not the only one who likes "bling". Nanny has a ring that will dazzle you. She wears ear rings too. I think I'd like some too. She wouldn't tell me how she got the ring but I could guess. She looks sweet and innocent but I could see the twinkle in her eye. Debra said she found Nanny one morning with a smile on her face. Now what does that tell you? I think we're doing to be good friends.
Nanny and Fauna, best friends forever.
Hello Fauna,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say thank you again, for coming over for tea yesterday. I enjoyed meeting you and know we will be good friends. It is also nice to meet more classy girls in the neighbourhood.
I forget to mention my hedgehogs name. It is Pursy. I know that most elegant ladies carry a "purse dog", but I have always liked to be a bit different.
I agree with you on the "John thing". It doesn't seem fair to me either. Things can be a bit unfair around here as well. They made me stand for almost three months over the winter, selling Christmas trees during the Christmas season and displaying my Olympic
talents during the wonderful 2010 Olympics.
The fundraising does keep me busy. The day they finally removed the stick from up my butt, and let me sit down, my real owner, Kate, came for a visit. That put a smile back on my face.
I look forward to following your adventures on your blog. And please do feel free to drop in for tea anytime. Bring Lynne. I liked her too. But don't bring that John fellow, he sounds like trouble. Don't forget we are closed on Wednesdays.
Nanny
