| Tea in an English Garden |
| My daffodils bloomed this week. It's a sight I look forward to all Winter because it means that Spring can't be far away. With my daffodils in mind, I started searching for some photos of English gardens. I'm not sure how the page evolved into "tea in a garden," but I'm a tea drinker, so, in this case, I was happy to go where the page led me. I have the tea and the daffodils. All I need now are some scones and crumpets and a nice warm day. -- Nancy |
| Come into the garden, let's have some tea and talk about happy things. -- Susan Smythe |
| Would you like to begin the adventure now...or shall we have a cup of tea first? -- Peter Pan |
| He brewed his tea in a blue china pot, poured it into a chipped white cup with forget-me-nots on the handle, and dropped in a dollop of honey and cream. He sat in his garden, cup in hand, watching a wren build its nest. "I am," he sighed deeply, "a most happy man." -- Ethel Pochocki |
| The man breathed in the scent of the tea deeply. It brought memories of rosebuds and mint, of sunny meadows and salty cliffs, of streams in no hurry and the sound of bagpipes. -- Ethel Pochocki |
| There is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a cup of tea. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson |
| There are few troubles so great or grave that can't be much diminished by a nice cup of tea. -- Bernard-Paul Heroux |
| So the small things came into their own; small acts of helping others; small ways of making one's own life better; acts of love, acts of laughter, acts of tea. Clever people might laugh at such simplicity, but, she asked herself, what was their solution? -- Alexander Smith |
| In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks if you want a cup of tea. You say no thank you. She asks if you're sure, because she was just going to get some for herself and it would be no trouble. Well, you say, in that case, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, if you're sure it's no trouble. Then you go through the whole thing once more, until you end up in the kitchen, drinking tea and chatting. In America, someone offers you a cup of tea and you say no thank you. And you don't get any tea. I'll admit it's a bit cumbersome, but I like the Irish way better. -- C. E. Murphy |
| There's something in the nature of tea that leads us into a quiet contemplation of life. -- Lin Yutang |
| I'm glad I wasn't born before tea. -- Sydney Smith |
| The smell of tea and buttered toast talked to him of warm kitchens on bright, frosty mornings, cozy parlor firesides and the purring of contented cats in a summer garden. -- Kenneth Grahame |
| You can't buy happiness, but you can buy tea, and that's kind of the same thing. |
