Fall 09 Afternoon tea, daffodil planting and other events

  


Afternoon tea in the Great Hall has long been a tradition at Harlaxton College, although it is interesting to note that tea did not appear on British shores until the mid 17th century.  We have the London coffee houses to thank for making tea a popular beverage in England.

 

Of course one would need copious amounts of cake and sandwiches to fully appreciate the tea.  We have photos of students, faculty and staff taking part in the arduous task of finishing the cakes in one afternoon; thankfully they did very well as you can see by selecting 'this link' to the photo gallery.

 

On a different note:

A group of students headed out to the gardens in the College grounds to plant out some spring flowering daffodil bulbs.  For a natural looking arrangement students threw out handfuls of bulbs and planted them where they fell, all under the watchful eye of the head gardener of course!  Select 'this link' to see the daffodil planting photos.

 

Other events over the last few weeks:

Cultural Conversations involving residents of the local community and friends of Harlaxton College  'Photo Gallery link'

The Meet-a-Family Reception Dinner  'Photo link'

And finally the momentous "Taking of the Group Photo"  'Photo link'
