A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne
Tea should be taken in solitude. ~C.S. Lewis
Tea is a cup of life. ~Author Unknown
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
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~C.S. Lewis
There is nothing quite like a nice cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteTea and Jane Austen - the best way to spend an afternoon. I discovered your blog today from The Dedicated House. I will be reading :-)

I love a proper cup of tea :-) Stopping by from A Dedicated House!
ReplyDeleteTea from an elegant pink teacup like yours today would be delightful, especially with Jane Austen on the side.

What a soothing post! I love your pink depression glass teacup...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it with all of us, it is wonderful!
What a perfect shade of pink for your gorgeous glass tea cup! I have looked for ones like this for ages but never seen such a nice coloring!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are having a very nice tea indeed! Unfortunately mine are almost always "very nearly tea"...or "sans" dessert!
Still, a cup of tea even on it's own is a treat!
Hugs,
Terri
