It's a bit of old fashioned, girly fun. Tea ceremony at the Lan Su Chinese Garden is another indulgence. Because these are things we do rarely, they retain that "special occasion" aura. You have created a setting for the best of the best. For me, it's the visuals (and a pot of very strong Earl Grey) that make a tea memorable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843132106213356234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-26154155955835555762016-05-23T23:02:06.805-07:002016-05-23T23:02:06.805-07:00Your Mum would have loved all this I guess, not ju...Your Mum would have loved all this I guess, not just the fragrance. You have done this beautiful rose justice with your great selection of props Peter. Thanks for sharing, as always ps I prefer tea made in a pot, and will invariably have it with a piece of home made cake around 4 o'clock but wouldn't want more than one bit of cake!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-8606082269591621262016-05-23T19:39:36.348-07:002016-05-23T19:39:36.348-07:00So beautiful.

I wish I had a cutting from the long-gone climbing rose that grew at my childhood home.

Your arrangement has a victorian touch with those beautiful tea sets. I usually stick to green tee at work, but not before I hit my daily coffee allowance (3 cups). Scones on the other hand I LOVE and treat myself occasionally to a currant scone, which isn't too sugary.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-82561220866399532082016-05-23T09:17:34.291-07:002016-05-23T09:17:34.291-07:00Much to my husband's dismay I've never enj...Much to my husband's dismay I've never enjoyed tea. I wish I did as I love the ceremony of it. The combination of that ninebark foliage with the roses is simply lovely. Chopsticks huh?
