    There is nothing more special than having an exciting trip in the pipeline – the expectations, the planning, oh I am so excited for you.
    I wonder if you will purchase a pretty teacup (or two?) on your visit?
    Have a lovely day.
    Wishes

  15. Dearest Patty,
    I too love a wonderful cup of cappucchino- but only maybe once a week I have something coffee….
    You two are lucky ones to visit England in June, meeting lots of tea, and many other lovely treats- It is 35 years ago I was there, and then “only” in London!!
    Have a happy week my dear.
    Hugs,Dorthe

  26. Ha, yes, in Great Britain you better drink tea… I found the coffee ‘not drinkable’ (to say it nice…) – I do prefer a nice strong espresson over tea though… hope you’re doing well dear one.

    Love your photos! I love both! I grew up with parents who drank tea – but coffee took over my life. I do find tea has a more soothing effect for me. Have a great weekend!
