Afternoon Tea at The Grand Hotel

On my return from three months away in Southern California, I was invited to join the Wonderful Brighton Belles on Friday 11th January 2007. They had arranged a surprise trip to The Grand Hotel for afternoon tea to welcome me back.

June, Vice Queen of The Brighton Belles, took over full responsibility of the Belles in my absence. Everyone said what a fantastic job she did, and to show their appreciation they bought her a beautiful display dish for her new kitchen. (see below)

I feel very honoured to have such a great group of ladies who I have known for less than a year. They have helped to make The Brighton Belles what they are today. A group of women who want to have fun and enjoy life in the company of other like minded women. To raise the profile of how older women as perceived by today's society, and also how they perceive themselves.
