Time for Tea

"whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, what ever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things" Phil 4:8

I love tea!

I love drinking it and all the niceties that go with taking tea!

My everyday ( ie.several times a day lol!) choice is a low caffeine blend of ceylon and east Asia tea made by Madura.

I find it refreshing and pleasant to the taste and I really like knowing that the caffeine is not going to effect me too badly throughout the day.  I have mine quite weak and my beloved has his strong.

Perfect match :-)

And as I have nothing freshly baked today, I am having a light repast with one of my favourite biscuits, the german spiced gingerbread Pfeffernusse or Peppernuts.

My cup and saucer is a mis-matched pair from my collection of old and vintage china.

A Royal Albert saucer in the "Moss Rose" pattern a pretty English bone china cup from Aynsley.

I quite like mixing old pieces together - as long as it's pretty it looks fine to me!

A little wear and tear doesn't bother me at all. Like old and dear friends, time just makes them even better and more beautiful!

I don't have fancy, expensive china to show or beautiful furnishings and clever crafts.

But I do appreciate taking a few quiet moments out of my day, to sit down with a lovely cup of a favourite drink and simply enjoy a peaceful rest.

I  pray you, also, find space in your day to breathe a little slower, take a look around you and thank the Lord for the blessings He provides you with every single day :-)
