A great little book called Time for Tea by Michelle Rivers got me started on collecting these old English teapots with the verse Polly put the kettle on or We'll take a cup o' kindness now for days o'auld lang syne. If you see a copy of Michelle's book pick it up and enjoy the stories and recipes of 13 English women sharing tea and conversation.

From the 1939 movie Goodbye Mr. Chips.
"Try one of those sponge cakes, Mr. Colley."
The picture with the empty plate is to show us that Mr. Colley eventually devoured all of the sponge cakes!!!

I'm not much of a hot tea drinker but I do drink quite a bit of ice tea all year long.

A brief history of the tea bag
“The amount of black tea that Lipton uses in a teabag has stayed the same since the 'flo-thru' bag was introduced in 1952,” explains John Cheetham, Lipton Tea Master. (That's about 30 leaves per bag.)

When I was a kid in the 50's my Grandma and Grandpa lived right next door to us. During the winter months on Saturday,Dad worked most weekends,or if I had a day off from school because of snow, Mom and I would go over to their house,Grandma would make tea, and we would play Lotto for a couple of hours. She had a shiny dark brown tea pot with a pattern of little raised colored dots much like the small candy dots used to decorate cookies. The tea always tasted extra special coming from the pot. I wish I had that pot today.

I'm a tea-aholic like so many Brits....
I read yesterday that most people in the USA don't have a kettle to make tea...we use kettles to boil the water and then make the tea in a cup... hardly anyone uses tea-pots any more except restaurants and hotels... so it's always nice to go out and have High tea at a cafe with some finger sandwiches and cake...or scones...
