This sweet photo captured the hungry baby bird even though I missed the top of papa's head! heheheh
I suppose the teacher that still resides in me is always seeking to learn something new each day, so one of my afternoon pleasures is to do a bit of bird research over a cup of fine tea and a bite of something!! In honor of the English Sparrow family I chose today to celebrate over a cup of Yorkshire Gold... and I took my tea in one of my favorite cups, the Royal Albert, the Lady Slipper of the Provincial Flowers collection...
I love the black background
juxtaposedagainst the beauty of the daintily exquisite
lady slippers.
I was thrilled to read in my 2012 March/April edition of Teatime about Yorkshire Gold tea, produced by the distinguished Taylors of Harrogate...
The article claimed that "Taylor's Yorkshire line is one of the UK's most popular, with more than 10 million cups consumed daily!"... Well, today, it was 1o million and 1, as I very joyfully enjoyed my repast ! I was so thrilled to find my tea at Fresh Market!
So I think it may be said as the huge anglophile that I am I will gladly celebrate any bit of the English that touches my life, even the visitation of the English sparrow!
