So, I was wise and filled with foresight for this trip abroad... having spent the majority of last year only having proper tea maybe once a week – if i was lucky – I decided to be sure to bring all the necessary supplies with me this time, even asking for a teapot set for Christmas. Alas! It was not to be – I had enough luggage allowance but no space in my bags for anything other than the tea bags themselves. Fortunately my host here is most understanding and although not optimistic she did agree to keep an eye out for a teapot for me. Unlikely, but imagine my joy when she told me last week that she'd seen one in town! Needless to say, I was champing at the bit to get down there and yesterday I finally made it and purchased not only a teapot but two teacups and a milk jug to go with it – they're made of china and everything! Now, if you'll excuse me I have a pot of tea to make...
