I hope you feel better soon, and your cats are keeping you good company, and your tea is perfect in every way, every time. Love the part about Jane Austen's wardrobe - my library doesn't have that particular book, so I'll suggest they get it. Your girlfriend in your wonderful drawing looks concerned . . .
Loved this letter, Terry, although I resent the implication that I do not habitually keep a stock of teabags on standby, because I DO! I'd been trying to order more for weeks....
Loved the Tommy Cooper joke - see, prepositions are so important!
It seems that an eighteenth century Rebecca having to buy fabric for her dresses would have soon been bankrupt. #heightist 😠 Loved the ready-to-wear link - really interesting.
I learn so much from your letters, Terry - thank you. ☺️ Brace yerself, though - I'm in the process of drafting my pithy response.... 🤭
Here at Casa Cummings, we don't drink a lot of tea but during our trip to Ireland, we noticed that every Airbnb we stayed in had an insta-kettle on the countertop. My wife became so enamored with them we had to buy one the moment we got home. We still don't drink much tea.
Either the British army dropping in or the Sons of Liberty seizing it and dumping it into American seas, or simply a case of the local Indian store running out of the Tata Tetley brand, one must be armed with plenty of those loose luscious brown leaves at home—wrapped tightly in a bag ideally—so they don’t wander off into the wrong hands, or waters and help us have a merry afternoon.
Glad you’re on the mend.
We do take for granted how easy life is today. Look how I can comment on letters between two folks in the UK instantaneously.
