Already finished my first cup of tea! Just curious... how did you first come to have such a love of tea? It is such an important part of your life and of your sister's. Did you both love tea parties as little girls?
I certainly agree with you on that one! In Ireland it is considered the height of rudeness to not offer a guest tea and equally rude for the guest to refust it! So it is a measure of our hospitality and gets a bit parodied in sitcoms like Fr. Ted where Mrs. Doyle cajoles her guests at the parochial house on Craggy Island to partake of a cuppa with her insistent "go on go on go on"!!! Worth YouTube checking if you don't know the programme!
Thank you for commenting on my blog post. I am always happy to hear from blog readers. Your words encourage and inspire me. I am glad you stopped by to share conversation, recipes, ideas, and thoughts on creating a welcoming home.
A home without tea
Good Morning!

Very nice! I love black mugs but these are sweet with the black lettering!
ReplyDeleteIt was really raining yesterday in Southern California. A sight to behold :0) I went right to the cupboard and made some tea...
