Pouring out a cup of tea results in a large puddle on the table. It's quite dreadful but it serves me right, I bought it for the colour. It was made in France... do the French drink much tea?<br />I've always wanted one of those brown teapots, beautiful in their simplicity.

But she had even bigger kettle, a big black thing the size of a cauldron which seemed to have a permanent residence on top of the glowing coals. I don't remember anybody drinking anything else in that house. It was nothing but tea. You'd have a mug in your hand, or if was Sunday a cup and saucer, almost before you'd got your coat off.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-77804188184141465632018-01-20T09:32:00.085+00:002018-01-20T09:32:00.085+00:00I'm a Lapsang, no sugar, and slight nuage of m...I'm a Lapsang, no sugar, and slight nuage of milk person.
