But i much prefer them to coffee shops. I have a pot of tea every time i go into town, and always go to John Lewis for it. Infact, ive never been in a starbucks, costa etc as ive always prefered the little tea shops tucked down side streets (until i had zakareeya) and now J.L just feels so posh but also homely so ive stuck with it.<br />Aqeela xxAqeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002608982845056769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-50391151119557893452011-01-07T12:12:30.405+00:002011-01-07T12:12:30.405+00:00What a handsome young man and I love the smile!!

The kids, even now all grown up, have to have them. We have Twinning tea in the cupboard and when I have had enough coffee and my poor stomach rebels, tea with cream always settles things down. Of course, then I think I should always choose tea with cream. Alas, coffee always wins the day.Annie Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415548089882625246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-23570134851667077612011-01-06T05:27:34.566+00:002011-01-06T05:27:34.566+00:00Oh my Barbara how our babies are growing up. What...Oh my Barbara how our babies are growing up. What a handsome little man he is becoming. Always was a cutie pie. I love his great big smile.<br /><br />So happy to hear you Brits are embracing your Brittishness. I must admit London shocked me when most of what I saw in the shopping district was American stores.(that was 10 years ago) I think it was Regents St. On the other hand Bond St. was so international. I preferred the real British shops like Harrods. <br /><br />Sorry, I had no idea our coffee shops had invaded your country so. Living here in the P.N.W. where the whole coffee thing blew up with Starbucks, I tend to think it is mostly regional. Then there is Portland, they are the real coffee snobs and wouldn't dare touch a Starbuck bean. For them it is pure Stumptown or little roast it your self mom and pop shops. I must admit this time of the year I love a coffee shop, but the other 9 months of the year I prefer tea shops which we have very few of. I do not count having to drink my tea in a paper cup thank you very much.

I'm sure it's a good thing I don't visit those tea houses as everything that goes with the tea does sound divine. Now the names Cadbury and Twinning are very familiar ones here. Cadbury for its chocolate of course and then Twinning Teas. They are the best. A delicious combination!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-23515855597385151762011-01-05T17:48:19.188+00:002011-01-05T17:48:19.188+00:00Tea shops sound great!

This represents some sort of shift.<br /><br />Oh that tea house looks wonderful. I've never enjoyed a proper tea out. Probably never enjoyed a "proper" tea in either for that matter. :D<br /><br />Thank you for further education on the differences in jams, jellies, preserves, and conserves.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
