All the leaves are green

::Tea forté is a special treat really designed to impress at a dinner party but sometimes when you finally get the house to yourself there is nothing nicer than a quiet moment to enjoy a delicious flavoured tea::

::this one is coco truffle, a herbal caffeine free tea which is described as a deep chocolate brew airy with fennel, licorice and cardomom::

::absolutely delicious and totally decadent for a weekday home alone moment:: 

::oh I did have a guest but he wasn't wanting to drink tea::this is a member of the Boo Crew by Susan Claudino and the pattern is available on Ravelry::he is a little Hallowe'en character::

Tea Time Choices

::Not breakfast time but afternoon tea time::

::working my way through this beautiful set of teas from Whittard::

::this is a light and delicate flavoured tea which they describe as strong traditional black tea::

::perhaps I added too much (skimmed) milk::

::well I enjoyed it and especially as I had time to finish these autumnal socks by Three Ewes Twisted in Fiber (no link as they are now closed)::

::welcome Autumn::

::We've ploughed and sowed,

We've reaped and mowed,

And we've gathered in the clover.

And every man will take his can

And neatly toss it over.

Now drink, boys, drink and if you spill

You shall have two, it is our master's will:: Cambridgeshire Harvest Drinking Song (not tea obviously!)::

Tea and knitting

::I love to have a cup of tea when I am knitting and at the moment I am enjoying the different flavours of Tea Forte::

::today I am going to have Vienna Cinnamon as there is a definite change in the feel of the season as we head towards Autumn:: 

::sitting outside to spin or knit the birds are singing once more and the atmosphere is one of transition::

::I saw a huge ripe blackberry on Sunday and the plums in the garden are turning red so I suppose it is natural to start thinking of all the lovely things to come::

::in the meantime, of course, there is still the beautiful summer days to spend outside gardening then settling down on the swing to spend a pleasant afternoon reading, sewing, knitting or spinning::
