Pass the Pot O' Tea Please

Nothing  speaks  to the   inner  soul   like  a  calming    afternoon break over a  cup of   lovely tea...  Teatime around here  is  an essential  part of  the day.... No matter  what I am doing,   taking a tea break makes everything  seem more  peaceful and  less dreadful...  and  let's face it, life can become somewhat dreadful..  Just having  the tea components   readily available is  part of the experience....

One doesnt   want to spend   undue  time trying to locate the  implements!
How about tea  in the morning,    by the bedside!Why, I think tea for one, as long as it is for me, is a lovely  thing!
 

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” 

― C.S. Lewis

Tea on the sideboard  in preparation for  a  luncheon  gathering is   an absolute!

On   a miserably hot and humid day like today,   an iced tea  break is called for....

Kate Greenaway  wrote....

"With a cool breeze blowing, and not too much heat -

And doesn't the tea-tray look charmingly neat?"

Or,   sometime,  an iced tea  break on the porch with my sweetie,   makes the day   special!

One of my favorite   teatimes is when I steal  away  with   my  cuppa tea  and   enjoy  my   new magazine of fresh ideas and   lovely  inspirations!
Or if it is   extremely pleasant in  the garden,   an afternoon  soiree' is   simply sublime!

"Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea."  ~Unknown

An afternoon of bird watching and  drawing,  is much more   festive with a bit of tea and  a sweet!

“There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” 

― Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

The Tea Party 

I had a little tea party 

This afternoon at three. 

'Twas very small-

Three guest in all-

Just I, myself and me. 

Myself ate all the sandwiches, 

While I drank up the tea;

'Twas also I who ate the pie

And passed the cake to me. 

~Jessica Nelson North 

Sometimes  we just cant wait and  must have  tea with our   breakfast...  

I always  enjoy so much  everyone's   lovely  sentiments about tea and  their   beautiful teatime settings....    Please  check out these  sites for   more !
