Luncheon at Mermaids

Friday June 13th

 

Wow what a great day we had at Mermaids Cafe at Kettering. The Bruny Island  girls travelled across on the "cruise liner" and disembarked just in time for  the scrumptious luncheon.   It was wonderful to welcome some visitors who are seriously thinking of joining the throng of Red Hatters,  Margaret from Bruny, Sue from Sandy Bay, and Barbara from Howden each made the effort to wear "the colours". 

 

You may remember our Strawberry Shortcake Amelia,  joined us again today.  Amelia helped Queen Joann lead the Christmas Pageant in 2006, definitely a budding red hatter, especially if she takes after her grandmother Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair.  We also welcomed a new member Nerida from Blackmans Bay. And a couple of faces we have not seen for a while Lady Laughalot Lyn, and Lyn Amoure Amoure. A few of the ladies wore a touch of  black seeing as it was Friday the 13th and Queen Joann was sporting her newly acquired  ritzy sunnies. It was lovely to catch up with our Red Hat friends whilst waiting for our meals to be served.

 

We missed Goddess Barbara at our gathering today and all send our get well wishes as she recuperates after  a bad fall last week when she badly dislocated her elbow. Barbara has had four lots of surgery over the last week and feeling very fragile.  Take it easy Goddess Barbara and we hope to see you out and about again soon.

 

We all enjoyed the great meals served by the welcoming staff at Mermaids  which were very reasonably priced too. Well worth the trip down to Kettering  for those who were unable to join us today.

 

Thank you to Lin A for some of the photos below.
