Tea for Five

Taking tea was an enjoyable pastime for the Edwardians. Here a family enjoys a cuppa  or is that a coffee pot. This is an imported postcard so I guess it might be German. I wonder why many of them are looking elsewhere?

Paradise Garden

It is a lovely sunny Monday afternoon although heavy rain is forecast to arrive from France later [thank you, Owen, Jeff34 et al]. Sitting on the front step with a cup of tea in my hand, I remembered one of you asking about my garden. So, here is a ninety second view of part of my front garden. No roads, no traffic. The birds are talking to me. Sooty is pottering around the lawn. What more could you want? Bliss!
