Kermesse Oecuménique - the Tea Ladies and Gentleman


Meet a great group - the Tea and Coffee Ladies and Gentleman - oh, plus one child. You can see they are getting ready to have a fun day. They could be at a village fete in England, couldn't they? Not inside the circus tent in Monte Carlo. There's something so 'British' about a biscuit tin, not to mention the teapots.

Everyone who works at the Kermesse is run off their feet. I bet this group didn't look as bright as this at the end of the day as they do here. I believe all in this photograph are British. Yesterday's Garden Ladies were a mix of French and Scandinavian.

  3. I like their expressions - especially the little girl!

    I bet they looked different at the end of the day though. But let's hope they still managed to smile.

  5. What a cheerful looking group of people. I too like the fact of using real cups instead of styrofoam; it just tastes better.

  6. Hi Anonymous, that's not the red cross. It's the English Flag. :-)
