Occupant one: After much discussion two different types of tea were selected and duly arrived on the table in glass teapots. The many borer holes in the tabletop tell the story of the former life of the table! We discussed the value of the exhibition space next to the teashop and being a good location right on K Rd. The downside being the stairwell and how could you entice people to venture upstairs? The conversation turned to the posters on the wall and what the 'Manbits' fringe show would be like. The talk revolved around the fringe festival which leads into the Auckland Art Festival, so the catalogue was flicked through and we discussed which art exhibitions and talk we would try and attend. It was a quiet relaxing afternoon, mellow sunny weather and I was looking forward to cruising across to Hannaford's Wharf in Coromandel on the 6pm ferry. I hoped my friend Rachel would be on the ferry so I could talk to her about the Camino Way.
Occupant two: It was fun being able to smell the different aromas of the teas and choosing one to taste. So nice after all the ‘teabag’ options you get in other cafes. And I loved the way the teabags were so tall they looped over the edge of the teapot. It was nice to just be able to sit, and relax and enjoy a good friends company for a change. I haven’t done this for a while. Life just seems to get too busy. I liked the way the table sat within the café – it didn’t look at all out of place.
