I was very lucky to get some Mrs Bridges tea stuff from my mister's dad. I know he wouldn't have picked it himself, because he's an old school bloke who doesn't 'do' shopping, but it's the thought that counts. No, it's the gift that counts, that's what I mean.
So I got this lovely tray set which doubtless came from Debenhams.
The biscuits alone are absolutely delicious. I've finished the English breakfast tea and I'm afraid I wasn't particularly impressed. The bags were a bit tricky to squeeze an actually decent cup out of, too weak for my tastes, but the biscuits, oh the biscuits were divine! I'm sure the jam is lovely, but I'm not really into jam. Sorry jam fans, you've come to the wrong place. The mugs are quite cute, in a homely sort of way. The kind of mugs I can imagine they would have used in Victorian times if they hadn't had lovely teacups everywhere. You can't really see the tray here, but it's a very light wood, maybe balsawood. There are useful handles on the side that I've tried to explain the use of to the mister. This is a BREAKFAST tray. He's not listening. He's put his stupid face on....
