A Life Philosophy...

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.

Bernard-Paul Heroux


Do you ever feel that there is simply nothing more pleasant in the entire world than a nice cup of tea?

Wouldn't you rather just sit somewhere peaceful with the delicious delicacy warming your hands and reflect on the day you've just had rather than do anything else... at all?

In today's culture of vulgarity, promiscuity and ridiculous amounts of peer pressure, wouldn't you just rather give up the drinking, the drugs, the 'wicked' nights out and just stay at home, put on your 'Jane Austen character attitude hat' and drink a nice cup of tea and think happy, pure, peaceful thoughts?

I truly believe that there is no greater pleasure available than a cup of tea. It should be embraced to the full extent - tea parties, tea time etc should be compulsory for all. It can't fail to make the world a better place.

I'd quite simply rather have a cup of tea.

Peace and Quiet and Countryside

There is nothing more I love in the world than peace, quiet and the countryside. I am, however, completely deprived of all of these things while I'm at University so I literally can't be entirely happy. I absolutely crave being able to go for a walk near my actual home (not my 'uni' 'house') in the middle of nowhere.

I'd love to be like Marie Antoinette / Kirsten Dunst in these pictures, just to experience that feeling of peaceful contentment thanks to the sound of splashing water and of nature. They - and the film - are so unbelievably beautiful, but I suppose I don't really fancy meeting Madame Guillotine afterwards...

I think I'm turning into an outdoor person after years of being happiest in front of an open, indooor fire. I certainly have cabin fever.
