The proper way to drink tea in England is with milk and sugar.
The sugar in homes that I've been to is in cube form or sugar balls which we rarely see in the USA.
One of the highlights of my England trip back in 1983 was taking my wife for a cream tea. Mandy Davis was kind enough to take me up the road to a farm that served a wonderful cream tea. Devonshire cream butter, strawberry jam and hot freshly baked scones with a pot of English breakfast tea that had to be strained. I was in heaven. I wonder how many points that is on my Weight Watchers diet!
The English are way ahead of us on another scientific breakthrough. Their teabags are drip-less. Yes I said drip-less. Two strings come out of the tea pod. The paper tab breaks in half and you pull on the strings. The bag gets "squeezed" and thus becomes drip-less. Ingenious!
Bunny has been getting around and was seen last night at the Zodiac Magic Club chumming with Peter - The librarian for The Magic Circle.
Bunny also got to meet Zodiac Club's President, Richard Pinner.
As I arrive to the lectures a few attendees are telling me that they have been watching the blog to see what I've been doing and my impressions of their country. Two have asked me if I brought Bunny to the lecture!
I am currently in Bath or as they say it here Baaath about to do a lecture tonight over the hill in Bristol. I am in a lovely Bed and Breakfast. The American accent is enchanting to everyone I speak to. Tomorrow is a day off to see the sights and I will share them with you tomorrow.
