Revealing a few secrets...

I made some silly odds and ends recently, and as they have all now departed from my care, I feel able to share a little,

First, an explanation. This too will be a little obscure, but it is enough, I hope!
  I have had a wonderful weekend.

Slightly mad, but such fun!




































Everyone in England knows what a tea shop is...


but, somehow I do not think this is quite what we would expect...
The array of teas for sale, and not all fruit teas but honest to goodness black and green teas, defies my belief.
 And then there are all these cubbies, each with tea of one description or another...



















Tea on the shelf, has a little cup with the tea in, so you may smell and see what you are buying!

There are local blends as well, so you may buy the blend for where you stay..

oh, and all the odds and ends for enjoying your tea!

A far cry from an English Tea shop! What a joy!

 So, I visited a friend, and left behind some traces of my time..
 little gift for another member of her household,














And not forgetting another one...

So, they shall not forget my visit too soon....













but, then, I was laden down with gifts to come home- so, I suppose, it was a fair exchange...


I never saw a hedgehog cookie cutter before, either!








And I was given heaps of tea to bring back--- Thank you for my lovely time, and thank you for your very kind and thoughtful gifts! You know who you are!




And I hope you will visit me very soon!

Sounds like a great weekend. I don't like tea (or drink it at all) so the tea shop would have been lost on me. Love the hedgehog cutter though!
