Norma’s Festive Tea
It’s a much-anticipated event that truly kicks off the festive tradition of non-stop eating and drinking. Culinary doyenne Norma Shirley sends out her teapot of invites and ensures that her Christmas tree is not only exquisitely decorated but also strategically positioned to accept the many gifts her patrons will bring for the little ones who spent Christmas at the Bustamante Children’s Hospital. Hospital matron Gloria Cole was then able to play Santa, but not before patrons along with family and friends home for the holidays enjoyed on the wrap-around verandah of the Great House a magnificent Festive High Tea.
