A teapot for every occasion

During the recent Carnival of Flowers a friend and I went to a couple of events which were thoroughly enjoyable.  The Teapot Extravaganza is a really interesting showcase of over 400 teapots as well as beautiful crockery such as Royal Doulton.

 

Tea bags or loose tea...which do you prefer?

A few weeks ago Rhonda, in her weekend reading section, gave the link to a video called 'Ever wondered how a tea bag is made'. I am not sure what I expected but I was quite surprised when I saw the process and, as the CEO likes to use teabags, I showed the video to him while he was drinking a cup of tea and he nearly gagged :-)
