Come along inside… We’ll see if tea and buns can make the world a better place.

A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne

Hey there! I'm leaving in the morning to go on vacation but I made some icons for your tea party. You can find them Here.

Have fun. :)

Oh, thank you so much! They are gorgeous, as always, and I hope that you have an incredible vacation!!

I will be out most of the day but this is lovely.

A favorite tea scene that you missed: the Karate Kid 2 Tea Ceremony of Love!

Oooo! Thank you for the link - I shall add it to the post!

I'm running a bit late today, but I have something, er, brewing for later tonight!

elspethsheir June 14 2008, 15:56:35 UTC

Yum! I shall await with eager anticipation!

(And I'll bet I'm forgetting some tea scene with the Doctor, right?)

Aaaand I'm done.

There was something about Ten and tea in The Christmas Invasion. Or... tea fixed the TARDIS? Am I making this up? I think I may be making this up.

I might not ever leave your post, you know. The photos! The kitties! The food! The food!

And you're right! It was tea that saved the Tardis. I think I even had an icon once that read "Tea: The solution to everything", with it pouring out a thermos into the heart of the TARDIS.

Nice tile work in the background of the Soda Bread photos!

Hee! My Dad would surely take that as a compliment, though I am certain that I was involved in choosing the colour/pattern!

Good morning! (It's still *just* morning here...) I've just had a little tea brunch with my parents. Daddy coffee, Mama had Tea of Life English Breakfast, and I had Tea of Life darjeeling. I made strawberry scones.

Those scones look divine. And I love the napkin, too. Hee. It goes nicely with the teapot.

I enjoy Adagio Teas - I have a lovely sampler selection of Blacks, perfect for indulging myself.

One day, we will have to try this tea ritual with the pots and smelling cups, etc. It sounds like the most relaxing way to enjoy tea, and the best method of properly experiencing a tea!
