There is nothing better then a nice cup of tea to quench your thirst and refresh the soul.
This cuppa was taken in taken in a building adjoining the walled garden that featured in my previous posts. There were many tempting delights from fresh sandwiches and light lunches to cakes… I was just content with my cup of tea.
Within the cafe there is also a deli counter with pies, quiches and fresh ham and beef off the bone which I am sure the locals enjoy taking home.
I do like the china
It was quite fun, each piece had differing shades of pink an red spots. I found it quite memorising…
.
Ah yes… “A cup of tea, a raisin scone, and thou beside me, with the telly on…” (as Omar Khayyam almost said). I do like my tea, provided nobody tries putting any milk or sugar near it. That would be outrageous.
I am not sure if Omar would approve of the telly, but apart from that…
Perhaps I shouldn’t go into that
Back to the cup of tea
Mine has to have a little bit of milk in it but it must not interfere with the tea taste! I do also have to have the merest drop of something sweet just to take off what I find a flat edge in the taste.
I didn’t realise I was outrageous
It is so outrageous there should be a law against it. (But community service only as punishment, not imprisonment – I’m a reasonable man
I serve the community already, so I can cope with that punishment
It’s so very English. And delightful….
Yes very English
I have to admit I am not a great tea drinker, but if I am going to have a cuppa, I do prefer it a wee stronger than the one above.
My sister-in-law however, is completely the opposite. …
I think that I shall never see,
A drink as weak as poor Jane’s tea:
For when it pours out from the pot,
I can’t tell if it’s tea or not !
The water’s there for all to see,
But only God could find the tea.
I am with you on this one. I like me tea to taste of tea
But if I am thirsty almost any will do as long as it doesn’t have too much milk in.
Needed that this morning. The china is important too.
Yes, China does make the tea taste subtly different and perfect
Doesn’t it look good in action? I am thirsty already but would hardly give a thought to such a tea service whilst it was part of a cold shop display.
It does look good in action. Like you though it wouldn’t get my attention if it sitting out of action somewhere. I doesn’t have a buy me air about it.
