Unfinished tea post...

After two days of soul-searching and tea-tasting, I've come to an important conclusion. Life-changing really. And that is that the teabag is a good thing. On the occasion of the teabag's 100th birthday, which took place on Friday, I was moved to think about tea. An important part of my life, I only drank my first cup of the delicious stuff three years ago. Before that sociable glasses of water were my beverage of choice, which, let's be honest, isn't quite the same as a proper cup of tea. But although I love tea, I'm not always so sure about teabags. They float around in the cup in a rather off-putting manner, it's rather hit and miss as to whether it tastes any good, and really, there's nothing quite like leaf tea brewed in a teapot.

How did I know?

Funny how your choice of words at one point can seem uncomfortably prescient in retrospect. In my last post I described my old house as a 'minty moment amongst chocolate and sugar mice', before wondering what the 'quirk' of my new house would be. Well, my answer was already there, written across this blog in fanciful, sweet-related terms: mice.
