I always divide people into two types - tea and coffee. Crystallized Violet and I are tea people - Tea Jennies. I remember visiting some ex-pats and calling one of their children "a real wee Tea Jenny". She was delighted with the word and spent the rest of the day hooting with laughter every time she repeated it. I feel the same - It's a lovely warm word. Tea's such a personal thing - my new favourite is Yorkshire but I keep returning to one of my old favourites Scottish Blend which has stood the test of time and my many fads. What's your favourite and do you have a different one for each season? Do you favour real tea or teabags? - for me real tea is only for special occasions and only if I can find my little house tea strainer!! But I have to admit - I'm a teabag girl - Crystallized Violet goes to a bit more trouble!! I do love my teeny, tiny teapot though - it makes 2 cups - cos I always think one is just not enough especially in the morning, two is the magic number !
What is your favourite tearoom time? I love 10.30, 1pm and 3.30 - all different atmospheres and with different types of people too!! I think that makes me just plain greedy!
Must sign off now, have been so busy typing hadn't noticed it's suddenly got very cold.
I'm frozen and need a cuppa to heat up. Now what will it be?
