Thank you Old Bean! That was delicious. Shame about the crumpet. So hard to find fresh piping hot crumpet nowadays.

Well... yes. I do expect a cup of tea pretty much anytime I fancy a cup. [:)]
Besides, it is time for afternoon tea. Ever heard of taking a cup of tea in the afternoon? [:)]

Has anyone noticed that once one opens a packet of Maynards Wine Gums, one simply can't stop eating until the whole packet - well not the actual packet obvs - is devoured?
Too nice for words.

Afternoon tea is when I say it is sunshine, and we don't do no poncy melon sandwiches neither....

'The unexpected history of the British cup of tea'
Legend has it that Catherine of Braganza brought tea to England back in the 1600s, giving life to one of the country's most iconic traditions. Today, Portugal is home to the only tea plantation in Europe, a century-old family business located in the heart of the Azores Islands.

Working from home - courtesy of Covid - has its plus and negatives. One definite plus is being able to have tea whenever I want it.
It's the little things in life I guess [:)]
