Peacock Pavilions: and the tale of a little Moroccan dinner party

It began with flowers from the Peacock Pavilions rose garden. 

Cat Blinky oversaw their placement in the fountain. ...

  

and in vases on the table. 

 
Chef Ellis from Australia, was concocting in the kitchen.

Mmmm....

The wine was poured.

And the food was served in Moroccan mosaic patterned dishes.

 

There was eating.

And, then of course, dessert.

Talking went on late into the night. 

And in the end all that was left as a reminder were the lanterns -- still lit -- swinging from the ceiling.
