Anyone for a cup of tea?

A great passion of mine is TEA. I love tea: black, green, white and in any moment of the day! With a good cupa in my hand I instantly feel relaxed and serene (even now that I'm writting I'm sipping tea!!!).

When I was in England I discovered CREAM TEA, and it was love at the first bite!!!! The English afternoon tea is a very treat: pastries, scones, clotted cream and jam. YUMMY! Well I've put on 3 kilos in eating cream teas while I was in Devon...without regrets! I would do exactly the same if I could come back and live there for a while!

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can still find old fashionable tea rooms and I've found these fotos I want to share with you:









I really would like to sit down in one of these chairs and sip a good cup of tea, maybe looking at the menu on an old glass...




with a nice tea cup...




and, of course, ordering some delights...






Look closely at this last image...


Yes!!! They are knitted!!! Aren't they cute?

  22. Oh, I LOVE the idea of putting in a tea room! I never would have thought about doing that!

  23. Tea is all about having the right tea cup, not too heavy, not too big, not too small. It has to be the right size so your tea can get to the right temperature to drink but not get cold too fast.

    Its a fine art as your pictures show!
