When we were in the Blue Mountains last year we were watching the progress of the renovations at the Hydro Majestic Hotel. This is a magnificent old building that was built in the early 1900s as a health resort/casino/hotel. It is placed on the top of an escarpment and has the most fantastic views across the valley. It is also in Medlow Bath and within walking distance from Helen and Robert's place. The following link gives an excellent history of a very iconic Australian building.

Some stages of the renovation project are now complete, with the Winter Garden being one. It is in here that High Tea is served and Helen and Robert thought that it would be fun to experience and add to my up and coming birthday treats. So on Saturday afternoon we donned our 'good clothing' and went to enjoy our 'high tea'.
We had a wonderful time. We all ordered the Luxurious High Tea which included a glass of Pol Roger NV French Champagne. The food, served on a three-tiered silver stand consisted of petit pastries, a selection of finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones served with homemade jam and fresh clotted cream. All very delicious and something we will remember for many years to come.
