Did I hear someone mention teapots?? 😏☕️

[Shaz51]

Oh me tooo this afternoon @Former-Member,

I think a cup of camomile tea will hit the spot

[Shaz51]

Yes @Former-Member

me , I have got a collection of them , I have never brought one at all

[Former-Member]

That's so cool, @Shaz51. You're a teapot magnet! Lol

[Shaz51]

Ha ha @Former-Member

my hubby told everyone no more teapot presents , so everyone gives me one anytime of the year now , even my hubby buy them for me --

[Former-Member]

I don't have a lot of little teapots myself, @Shaz51, but there are days I think I am one. Lol 😜🙈

[Shaz51]

Ohhhh @Former-Member, I would have a cup of tea anytime

[Former-Member]

I'm hearing you, @Shaz51. Despite my name, I like lots of teas. 😎👌🏻

I think it's something about the mindful ritual of the making as much as the drinking. It's a soothing process and the sitting down and sipping of the tea feels like respite.

It's actually part of an art form in Japan too...um I think it's called wabasabi.
I had a book, don't think I kept it, too many moves, things have become lost.
I did have one teapot. My youngest got to it 😏@shaz51. @Former-Member

Hey @Former-Member!  Funny you should say that. I was going to say something along the lines of potentially having been Japanese in a former life, then I thought I might have had that all wrong. Glad you've confirmed it. I imagine the Japanese used tea ceremonies as a brilliant way of centring themselves so they can sustain their strong work ethic.
