I truly WOULD rather have a cup of tea...

... However I am - like, I think the vast majority of British students - stuck inside and attempting to work. However, I seem to spend most of my time watching the BBC News Channel and getting overly excited about the upcoming election. Oh well, anything is better than reading about life in 'pre-modern' (whatever that may be) Britain...

Anyway, I said rather a while ago now that I would award the the 'sunshine award' to fourteen fellow bloggers whose blogs are currently floating my boat so, rather than ramble on any more, I'll just get on with it, I think!

And I still have no idea whatsoever how to make links clickable. Try as I might to follow every piece of advice I'm given, I still fail at anything remotely technological - dreadful.

Righteho, back off to 'work' or perhaps just watch the BBC's election tent which is 20 miles up the road - I want to be there, please!

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.

I've Just Realised...

... What an utterly weird blog this is turning out to be. My last four posts have been about tea, a (tremendous) fashion designer, the Tory party and Jean Paul Sartre. That is totally bizarre in anyone's book but bizareness can be good, and long may it continue in my strange, convoluted mind!

Tea Time

"The mere chink of cups and saucers tunes the mind to happy repose"


George Gissing, The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft


My thoughts on life (and tea) exactly.
