    Well all I can say is that you have some fantastic glue and a real keen eye or it was the saucepan that broke, and not the cup, in which case I want to know what brand of chinaware it is!

    well, this morning started with sausage eggs and some swan tea, with my daughter in some wonderful tea glasses that Mr nosewarmer passed on to me. his generosity is very heartwarming in today's culture, goes to show that there is still hope.

    Well today it's Billy tea for me. And a tip that I ust discovered yesterday. If you like your tea strong and you decide to make it using one of those metal mesh tea balls or scoops that hold the leaf, don't fill the ball or scoop over halfway. The leaf won't have room to expand and release all that tea goodness and what you will get is a weak watery/milky travesty of a cuppa. Either get a pot or if you must have it extra strong (I must, I must) then make it in two batches using your mesh/scoop or get a second mesh/scoop. Just my thoughts on the subject. You might come up with better ideas. Personally I own a teapot as well.
