AN AFTERNOON TEA ~ BRIAN ~ A 2 9 3 Acrostic Sonnet !
Goldfinch60 said:
WE drink tea mane with tealeaves, it is Rwanda/Burundi which is a stronger version of Kenyan tea that you may have drunk. We like our tea strong and with the tea we drink the stringer you make it the taste remains and does not go bitter like some teas.
As for the teabag idea that is consigned to the devils brew like decaff coffee!

I\'m glad I could inspire...I knew you would have more info on the subject. I\'ve had a lot of tea except for Oolong. I thought you said yesterday everything stops at THREE for tea?? Now you say everything stops at FOUR? No matter, have a mug of tea and relax!

I am told by my brother, who also owns tea gardens, that the young leaves with a silvery hue, are the best and most expensive. It is also shipped to the Buckingham Palace.
So here\'s to all of us,

A salutary tale JL pehaps you should have read my Poem first. In the UK ~ We have many Stately Homes ~ including Buckingham Palace ~ where one can purchase an *Afternoon Tea* ! Tea (with scones & jam & cream) is normally about £8 ($11) per person and a Full AfternoonTea about £22 ($30) per person. It does sound expensive (with a string Quartet it would be £25 = $35) but one pays for the Venue and the Ambience and essentially the experience and @ Buck House a selfie with Charles & Camilla ! But as you imply one must be dressed impecibly and never ever belch or f * * t !
Brits ~ even in the 21st C ~
Are still very Class Conscious !
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙

Get the String Quartet going, the silver strainer, and digestives, etc.
But yuk, not Earl Grey - sickly sweet!
Fido will accompany the quartet with his singing/howls.
The Women\'s Institute (W.I.) may have afternoon teas, but they\'re very scary - the women, that is!

Brit weather now demands you pack a \'pak-a-mac\'... although if u do get a soaking, chances are the wind will dry you soon though you may catch a head cold.

ARE WE ALL BORROWERS & LENDERS ? ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A Double Nonnet (18 lines)

We live in a small town, but if we need a cup of sugar we just go to the store and buy sugar! LOL I guess it\'s just not like the \"good ole days\" when neighbors could be neighbors.

Developing countries have now all caught on to the system of lending, and caused billions to become borrowers, in order to create instant economic growth, and the world economies are now intertwined.
Beware, when one sneezes, the rest catch the cold.

As a lad everyone loaned and borrowed but now in a \'posh\' village everyone can afford whatever they need. However if a hand is needed for a difficult task there is always someone to call on - time moves on.

Shakespeare may very poetic, etc. but some of his sayings are suspect to me, and worldly-wise. Even Einstein got into spooky or weird reading.
There\'s: \'The borrower is servant to the lender\' in Proverbs somewhere.
I will nip round to borrow that leaf blower if I may. What, with leaves on the tree in Summer?! lol.

leave nothing but footprints,
kill nothing but time\".
