WE LOVE TEA.
Take tea from our lives and in the words of Whitney Houston we have nothing, nothing, noooothing, if we don’t have… you.
The ‘you’ being tea of course. Here’s why it floats our boat:
1. Because what’s a bickie without a cup of tea? A sad and lonely circle of nothingness that’s what.
2. Because we can ‘dip’ stuff – and everyone knows there’s no greater pleasure in life than a soggy, tea-infused chocolate digestive or KitKat.
3. Because tea soothes our souls and makes us feel like everything is going to be okay.
4. Because when it’s cold we get to warm our hands around a cuppa. Ahh.
5. Because sipping hot, sweet tea is something to focus on when we’re in the middle of an awkward conversation. Or when have anxiety in social situations. Thanks tea.
6. Because you can’t have a full English brekkie without a mug of tea. It just can’t be done. Try it and the world will collapse.
7. Because if we’ve tea in the house we’ve always something to offer a guest. And have you known a guest to ever turn down a cuppa tea? Nope, didn’t think so.
8. Because it gives us a reason to add even more cute teapots and cups to our ever-expanding collection.
9. Because it distracts us when all we want to do is raid the fridge and eat every.single.thing in it.
10. Because we are British and drinking tea is a national pastime and who are we to argue with that?
11. Because until we have our first cup of tea of the day the most conversation you’re gonna get out of us is “mmfffppph”.
12. Because there’s no sound more wondrous than the pouring of freshly boiled water into a cup, closely flowed by the clink of the spoon as we stir.
13. Because there's no nicer question than “Will I stick the kettle on?”
What about you mums? Can you live without your cuppa?
