Tuesday Cuppa Tea December Holly Tea in the Sunroom

Hello and welcome to Tuesday Cuppa Tea. Another week of the "trying of your faith worketh patience" as we still deal with medication side effects. If you ever have nausea problems, have ginger capsules on hand...we found that out years ago when mu Honey was first diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2008 and had a tough time with meds for a year... open a capsule and mix with hot water, and amazing....we have been through a lot of capsules this week as well as a few other things...timimg eating, etc. Ginger works for sea sickness as well if anyone wants to know!  But...that's sort of Off Topic...

Because of everything that goes with the med issues, didn't bake this week, just have scratched the surface of decorating, but managed a small Christmas tea this afternoon as my Honey was doing a bit better...

In the sunroom as usual...where I always take my afternoon tea break, and where my Honey joins me if he feels like it, and  I got our the Royal Albert Old Country Roses Christmas Tree design cup and saucer...made to go with the ususal OCR.

The cup and saucer is a recent manufacture and probably not made in the UK, although it is bone china. The mark includes the WWRD for Wedgwood Waterford Royal Doulton which was the company name from 1992 to 2015 when Fiskars aquired the company, lock, stock, barrel and all the trade names, identities and pattern books and molds. Love the pattern! So festive!

The 2 person Holly teapot was a gift from a friend and just perfect for the two of us. 

The teapot has in gold script aound the top "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace... " Romans 15:13

And it was made by Dayspring ...I just love it!

For tea we are having Republic Of Tea's Downton Abbey blend Downton Christmas Tea which is descibed as premium black tea with mulling spices. It really is lovely!

And as the ornaments come out...so do the nostalgic moments...these were made for me in the 1970s by my father who was a wood worker. He cut them and painted them.  A treasure.

And then the star made by our son in kindergarten...he's now 46!  And lots that I have made over the years...we haven't had a tree for 8 years because of our beloved Tiner...a fiesty little guy who climbed the trees, but as we lost him at the end of the month, we decided to put up a tree again. The lights are wonderful, aren't they?

So glad you joined me for tea! Hope your week will be filled with fun, and family and tea! I will be joining...
