Anyone for a cuppa?

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a cup of tea in anyone of these delightful settings.

Drinking a daily cup of tea will surely starve the apothecary ~
Chinese Proverb

Rainy days are the perfect time, to have a big pot of soup on the stove.
My husband made some delicious tomato soup which we enjoyed for our lunch.
It is cold and bleak here today, so what better way than to look at some beautiful outdoor spaces, to make me feel happy.

I hope that you are all having a happy weekend and many thanks for your visits and comments and to new followers.
Hugs
Carolyn

    Dear Carolyn,
    These places look lovely - it has always been one of my dreams to have an outdoor room - one day!

    These tea-party spots..really warm me up. Its muggy and hot here in the heartland of the states. Argh...iced tea with lemon for me. I'm afraid. But I do like my hot tea in winter. Earl Gray for starters.

    Yes I'll take my tea on that sunny corner of the verandah -with a pot of English Breadfast mixed with a few Earl grey leaves would be lovely and perhaps a pistache macaron - would you like to join me?

    Love tea and soup - great pick-me-ups in an English winter too!

    Hope the weather is getting a bit better for you now in beautiful NZ. When does Spring officially start?

    Happy week,

    Many thanks all, for visiting me and I wish we could all have tea together.
    Nora, you asked when Spring officially starts in NZ ... it is September, so warmer days will soon be here.
    No never too late for a cup of tea Constance, and glad that you have your little pinkie up!

    How beautiful! A dream of mine (and hubby's too) would be to have a conservatory and always have tea outside, no matter if it's raining or not.
    Thanks for these enchanting pictures, dear Carolyn! And for your precious friendship.
