It's summertime and time for tea. Because that is what British folk do best. We make sandwiches in tiny little triangles and science has proven that they really do taste better cut into triangles rather than squares. What could be nicer than slices of home baked cake or scones served with hot tea from china cups. And while we're on the subject, why does my tea taste better from a bone china cup than a big chunky Starbucks goblet? Who doesn't love tea on the lawn or lounging around the garden with the scent of those fine English roses wafting by. It's about the luxury of time and formality....not for me grabbing a coffee to go from a cardboard cup and drinking through those skinny little holes. The chink of a teaspoon against china is a quintessentially English invention. Best accompanied by a radio playing something chilled (Paul Weller or Air is good), a sunny day (or just rain free) and sticking to the British feel, a little light sexual innuendo won't go a miss!!
