So I spent part of this weekend selling Sugar Paper's wares in Sheffield (more on that later).
The stall holder next door but one to me looked familiar, when I realised it was this lady:

Anyway, Elodie of Plouf! fame was selling zines, and even though in a not so previous post I was banging on about Cath Kidston loving, tea drinking crafters, I will admit I LOVE a good cup of tea.
So I was totally impressed to see she had made a tea zine, complete with a free tea bag (I got cinnamon!, with a matching tag to the zine! DETAIL!!).

Here's how I like to take my tea:

My favourite mugs are:
My black Placebo mug, I drink my tea out of this every morning (and only in the morning).
OCD, a gift from Nickie, I use this at night but mostly in the day if I'm off work, used for specialty teas as I can see the colouring better as it's white.
Andrew mug was a gift for my sisters ex boyfriend like well over ten years ago, I just love the shape of this, usually my night time mug.
Hairspray mug, was a snap at only £5, haven't used it for a while but was my work mug when I had a shop.
Teas I like to drink:
Twinings everyday and English Breakfast.
Earl Grey.
Fruit teas.
Lady Grey.
Vanilla Green.
Chai.
I used to take 6 sugars in my tea, but eventually weened myself off, now have non and cannot bear sugar in it!
*More Tea Vicar was a game on The Big Breakfast, I used to love this show (cuz I love anything associated with the 90s!) my sister and I are currently trying to track down Big Breakfast memorabilia!

Milk in first?!?! Sacrilege!
Bag in, water on top...mash for a long few minutes (sometimes I wander off and start doing something else and forget I'm 'brewing'...much to the disapproval of a certain someone!)...squeeze bag with spoon, bag out, milk in, a few clockwise stirs, one stir anti-clockwise for good luck...job's a good 'un (as Bez might say)...at no point will milk touch bag (although if you're mashing, I wouldn't say no!)...I'm also glad you weaned yourself of the halfdozen sugars!
Hey, I thought that was our house at first! We have exactly 50% of those mugs (as you know)...I have fave mugs, and they all have names...Tradesman's(good for tea AND coffee), Harlequin (mainly tea)...
This post reminded of an article i read recently while on my tea-break at work:
Read it here!
I love tea me...
Ha, loving the article!
Does this mean, with my milk in first madness, I won't be making tea round yours anytime soon?!?!
I'll never refuse a cuppa...so feel free!
