Out with the teapot

January 28th, 2007

Had my mum and dad round today for cups of tea and cake, following going out for lunch with them.

When there’s company, time to get out the Enormous Teapot. This is not related to the Enormous Turnip, although it could probably have its own children’s story about it.

The teapot was a wedding present from our good friends Rachel and David, and the first present we opened on our return from honeymoon.  We laughed and laughed - the teapot can take up to twenty cups of tea.  Perfect for my enjoyment of mass catering.  The teapot still draws admiring glances from new visitors.

This blog is partly a chance to emphasise the joys of tea and cake.  Having a teapot is one thing, having cake to go with it is a bonus.   Today’s was lemon cake, baked by mum as a late birthday cake.

I’m not sure that cake doesn’t deserve a separate blog posting, as a fairly important element, in celebrations, gatherings and the like, as far as I’m concerned.  But for now, enough to say that cake made it an occasion today.
