Highland Scones
Another goody I found in the September/October issue of Tea Time Magazine was an advertisement for Highland Gourmet Scones. All three of those words appealed to me! Highland (tells me there is a Celtic or Scottish element) Gourmet (means high quality or skilled preparation) Scones (’nuff said. They’re SCONES, people!) Technically, they had me at…

The Missing Piece!
After all of these year photographing tea, enjoying tea, collecting tea pieces, and blogging about tea, I’m amazed, shocked, and more than a little embarrassed I did not possess my very own Brown Betty teapot. The September/October 2015 issue of Tea Time Magazine arrived in the mail a few weeks ago. I usually reserve a…

Tea for Today
Today I enjoyed a comforting Se Chung oolong tea from Upton Tea Imports. Made even more desirable being enjoyed out of my favorite Tain Pottery tea cup and saucer. Thought of my mom as well. She bought me the small wooden tray. It’s hand painted with a winter scene and has been quite used and…

Scottish food, dancing, music, and athletics make for a fun-filled day even if you’re not Scottish. Unfortunately, for me, I was a…

What the Doctor Ordered
While I am recovering from brain surgery on my un-ruptured brain aneurysm, tea gives me something to look forward to on a daily basis. I know it’s a habit that won’t harm me and one that will encourage and enlighten me during this process. Tea is comfort food to me. So, after pretty much exhausting…

London is Calling, but There’s NO TEA!
I had a VERY vivid dream last night that Dave and I moved to London. The country. Across the big pond as they say. Dave and I spent 5 days in London in 2012 and I was really surprised at how much I loved the city, but moving there was something I had never considered.…
