Tea time

A cup of tea makes any time of the day infinitely more pleasant
One of the first things I do to start my day, is to have a cup of English breakfast tea to wake me up.

Can't have a cup of tea, without something sweet ~ this lemon tart was delicious and had this for my afternoon tea today.

Wishing you all a wonderful week, thank you for dropping by and for the wonderful comments.

    Hi Carolyn, That's a very pretty tea cup but I also love that sweet sheep cup. For me the first thing in the morning is making coffee but I like to have a cup of tea from time to time in the afternoon. The lemon tart looks very mouth-watering.
    Have a lovely week!
    Hugs to you,
    Julia

    Good morning dearest....thank YOU for stopping by for a quick tea time break with me! Have you ever had Harney and Sons "Paris" tea? I don't know if you can get it over in your part of the world, but it is a wonderful black tea with REAL vanilla. Splendid!

    Enjoy your day, Anita
