fancy a cuppa?


It has been significantly wet and grey this week. which has hindered me in taking the photos of things I wanted to show you. We did have a one morning of nice weather, but I that I used up in the garden, pulling up a multitude of weeds.....


oh and other time it was dry I was stuck inside a dusty gymnasium doing exam invigilating, I think I was even more frustrated to be there than the poor GSCE French students, and they looked pretty fed up I can tell you that......


the upside to being stuck in a lot is the opportunity to drink lots of tea,


and when a moment of photo frustration turned into a flash of inspiration to check my archives for unpublished posts I was thrilled to find these tea related pics,


taken at Beningbrough Hall Gardens.



I am inspired to make a make a mosaic for my garden, but I think it will have to be a little smaller......

  1. So are you on the scrounge for broken crocks?
    Might have some old plates I could send. And I wouldn't have to bother with bubble wrap...

  4. How unusual! I found some of my favourite (expensive) china broken this morning and will not throw it away. Perhaps I could do what you have done....now there's a thought. Have a good weekend. Joan

  5. I was the same as Ali, I thought you had made it! I have been wanting to do a mosaic course for ages - there's a studio near here but somehow I just never seem to find time to visit it. I would love some funky mosaicy stepping stones for the garden!

  7. Just had to look at your blog because of name similarity, and I think we like the same things, especially a love of tea and tea related things! Good luck with your mosaic, Claire xxx

  11. Gorgeous array of blues in that beautiful mosaic. I would love to see it for real one day! Speaking of ceramics, but not the broken up in bits kind, I have to tell you that you have won one of my giveaways, so if you could contact me that would be fab! xCathy.
