    Marco.

    Nosheen got to use her new tea set today, we had to use a cheese knife as I think we lost the little one for butter.
    All in all it was nice, this isn't done much here in the U.S. but in Pakistan tea is a real thing and Nosheen really misses it.
    We are building a nice dinner set same make and pattern. The tea served was Yorkshire Gold.

    Marco,
    Tea has not replaced coffee for me but we have come a long way from boiling tea bags in a pot!

    Really nice tea set (I love the tea cosy). But, what is the butter for, have you got some scones out of shot?

    Aaah right - I thought that they were some sort of Danish pastry, on my laptop screen it looks like they have icing on top

    Of course there is a drizzle of icing on top, in California nothing is left understated . I was lucky to find something with out edible rainbow sparkles.
