In three visits I did not see any food offered, or menus, nor anyone eating. I have a vague memory of some sort of chocolate and tea tasting platter, but that doesn’t count as I cannot eat chocolate.

No bad surprises, every tea was made superbly. Every time we had a cup Lady D’s was better than mine, though.
And on, not only one packet of wafers. That would just be a start. Some little sandwiches,a Victoria […] -

When we arrived in Vancouver, we went through the usual travellers’ ritual of trying to have a nap, and then staggering out in a jet-lagged haze to look about. Rolling downhill to 4th Street Kitsilano, the first […]

Thank you Lisa. If you liked that post, you will probably find the majority of the rest poorly researched, opinionated and waspish, but you never know.

That’s a very brief comment. You could elaborate.

It may amaze you to know I am flawed, but yes, I am.
One of my problems is I often fail to do something as I am hoping for better. For example, I won’t hydrate with a cup of water or with a drink from Starbucks […]

Wish it could all be together. Surely we can get a study tour grant or something.

One of the joys of overseas travel is shopping malls.
No, really.
The great thing about a mall is that it is a microcosm of retailers.

As I start writing this, I wonder if I will end up apologising for it.
You might think that I often wonder if my unfettered sarcasm and wholesale sprays of invective, combined with poor attention to detail will […]

With lots to do in Vancouver, our approach to tea shops has mostly been to just find them while walking past and drop in.
On a recent walk we came across two that were totally different and loved them […]

What does it really take to know a city?
More specifically, can you get to grips with a city by visiting a representative sample of it?
And is three restaurants, two Asian style gardens, a rose garden, a […]

I have always loved the expression The Curate’s Egg because, well, people say I’m a bit of a fence-sitter. Or, as I prefer to put it, not a fence-sitter. I like to consider all sides of a situation from all points […]

We often conduct tea events in Aged Care facilities.
People in Aged Care facilities are usually over 60 and a large portion are well over that. Sixty years ago, the year was was 1957.
Family and social […]

After a decade in tea, as a tea shop co-owner and/or manager, a blogger, a speaker, an author, co-owner of an online retailer and simply pouring way more tea than most would think possible down my craw, I think […]

My choice for a voice-commanded, variable temperature enabled, 24 hour available perfect tea device would be a well-trained team of butlers, but I think the tea square device is quite suitable for the more budget-conscious.

I’ve been at this blogging lark for over seven years, and looking back, it seems to mainly be a series of posts that switch between unintentionally abusive rants and intentionally abusive rants.
