The BBC series, Cranford, is a genuine delight!Often, movies of mid-18th century England are portrayed by characters of either extreme poverty or inherited wealth. In the small village of Cranford, however, we become acquainted with middle class single and widowed female inhabitants who are comfortable with their traditional way of life and place great store on propriety and maintaining an appearance of gentility.
In a past life, I must have resided in Cheshire county, England, for the attire, manners, and proper grammar of these genteel English women send me into ecstasy!
Knowing that tea tastes better when sipped from a bone china cup, my yellow Hall teapot is now being used at the office, along with a dainty bone china cup.
Pinkies up!
LOVE IT! (Beautiful teapot too)

tea in bone china cups is living life to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteAnd so much better when brewed from leaves--no paper taste. (My cuppa of gunpowder green with jasmine is in, however, a pottery mug....)
