I always start my day with a refreshing cuppa. For those
of you non-British folks, that means a cup of tea. Now, I am an old-fashioned
English gal and I prefer my black tea hot, with milk (cream) – no sugar. My
mother didn’t let me have tea until I was a teenager. I felt ‘grown-up’ when I
finally was allowed that first delicious cup. In the afternoons, I like to have
a cup with a biscuit (cookies). My tea drinking is regular, regardless of the
weather outside.
I think English people’s blood is part-tea. Tea and England are ingrained. One can hardly talk about
one without the other.
