Happy New Year! I am a bit late but the year is still 'new'. I have been basking in the afterglow of all the festive hoohaa. I am rather glad the Glinsel and titter has been packed away for another year. It is lovely but there is a certain ahhhhh to be had when it is packed away again. I have been very quiet 'for me' on the blogging front and I must get back into the swing of it! I am sitting like a startled rabbit in the headlights at the prospect of returning to work next week. Work. . . it rather spoils my fun! So the challenge is to make work fun!
Now I have just read a blog Happy Angel it is singing the virtues of a simple cup of tea. Oooooh yes for I am a 'tea belly'. I love me a nice cuppa char! My Dad used to make me a cup of tea in my bottle and I can actually remember that far back, swigging my tea out of a bottle. Regardless of 'Health Visitors' advice both of my boys loved tea in their bottles too and they still drink a lot of tea. Happy Angel's blog post and my love of tea got me thinking. . . oh good grief we know what happens when I get thinking. . . but I wondered if anyone would be up for a 'Grand Tea Swap'? I am not really sure how this will work but I am thinking that if you let me know if you are interested leave me a comment and a way to contact you via email. I will collate a list of addresses and and pass on a list of addresses to each person taking part. Everyone taking part will have everyone else's address. Then we could randomly start swapping a couple of Teabags of the fanciest kind. There are no time limits for sending out tea, so we could be swapping and receiving surprise teas for quite a while. I don't think you can have too much tea. What do you think? Is any body in? I am off to make meself a cuppa right now.
Rules For The Grand Tea Swap
1) Must like tea.
2) Leave a comment and a way for me to contact you via e-mail by the 11.1.13
3) When you receive the list of fellow Tea Swappers just send what you can to whoever you choose when you can.
4) Remember to blog about 'The Grand Tea Swap' and any tea you receive.

Hope work goes well for you am not looking forward to the early start, mayhem and stress although it will be helped by ....................you guessed it a nice cup of tea LOL! x
Yes please, this sounds right up my street! I can't start my day without tea and I am also passing on my addiction to my daughter. My email is lesleyking2000@gmail.com.
ReplyDeleteOh very much yes Lucy that sounds great! I am a tea addict! My mother used to send me boxes of Pg Tips out to me here in Spain because you could only buy rubbish tea here in the local supermarkets about 10 years ago. There has been progress since then and you can get PG Tips in most big supermarkets now and some other exotic brands I've never heard of before.
ReplyDeleteYou have my email address Lucy.
keep well
Amanda :-)
