This weekend, I received the amazing gift of a weekend away! A time to rest, reading, doing nothing… sleeping..! It was absolutely lovely! Yesterday, I found a nice place outside and sat down at about 10, and didn’t get up again till 4:30! What did I do? I read, had time to think, found a book by a favourite author and read nearly the whole thing (I finished it that night!), and drank lots of tea! Absolute bliss!
I went for a walk looking for food, and came upon one of the most interesting looking tea shops I have seen in a really long time, and took a look… and found some of the most lovely tea pots I have seen in a really, really long time! It got me thinking about why I love tea so much though… and I realised that it is isn’t so much the tea itself, though it is a great drink. It’s the stuff surrounding the tea drinking that I love. The process of making the tea, the people who you take the time to drink the tea with, because tea drinking can’t be rushed, it’s where you drink the tea, what you eat with the tea, or the books you read while you drink the tea that make it a truly memorable experience!
