Comments on: High Tea at the Loft: Christmas in July http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/20/high-tea-at-the-loft-christmas-in-july/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

They're so much fun! You're very welcome! :D Hi anna-LOL it’s not quite the same thing over there is it? :lol: I’ve heard that Christmas in July in the US is mostly a retail related thing :)

I would love to experience a White christmas though...that'd be awesome! (Although, I would settle for just being in the US in winter...I'm not fussy!) You know - I've never done High Tea! I've never been invited to one (time to bring out the violins...hehe)..and I don't have anyone that I know that would enjoy it as much as I would. Oh well...one day! :) Thanks for another great & informative article :) I’ve never experienced a cold December Christmas – I’ve only ever spent my Christmases here in Sydney…so I’m used to the warm Dec 25, I guess.

I like your Christmas way better.

Hi Sarah-Yes I'm sure that the top 5 or 6 will get plenty of offers and it wasn't like a Big Brother show where they'd be notorious afterwards. I was very impressed by Julie's final dish, it definitely wasn't home cooking! I'm sure Poh will have lots of new offers and the one from Curtis Stone sounds very cool! Hi Ffichiban-Yes I don't think we'll ever have one here! Hehe you would have had to have 2 or 3 of those I think! Hi Grace-Yes dainty and ladylike indeed! I love miniatures and their appeal is largely lost on straight men! Hi Kim-I know, we're just the totally opposite way around aren't we! :lol: Aww thankyou! :D Hi Faith-Thankyou so much! :D Yes I love a cute little teapot :D Hi Wayfarer-Ahh so doing it this way is good for you! :D Oh wow, you really do it in style! :o Haha yes I think the contestants were fearful of another Zumbo creation-I don't blame them! Hi gobsmack'd-Hehe a bloke's afternoon tea! Now that would be something very tough to market but I'd love to see the ads :lol: Hi Soma-They were very cute :) Yes I really want to have a white Christmas one year in a country that really does Christmas :) I always thought that Texas was hot but it snows in Christmas? Hi Ja-Yes I love tea a lot! Yes do ask for one, they're a bit nicer although they're mostly along the balcony :) Hi clekitty-I know, I love it too! I feel sorry for burly blokey men feeling like they can't do it :lol: Hi Candice-Aren't they just! :) I'm sure they'll be a hit.

Isn't the whole ethos of feminism being equality instead of merely reversing the prejudice? Just a thought.
