"Stop for Traditional Tea"

 Before I start this post, a disclaimer: if you feel like I am obsessing about trains, you are absolutely right. I know I have been blogging directly or indirectly about trains ore often than none in the last few weeks. But I do love trains. This is a picture of one side of the tin my wife bought me for my birthday. It was filled with bags of New English Teas. I got through them quickly, but kept the tin as it is such a cool one. Anyway, I saw that even the sides were decorated and had somehting to say. During long travels, it's nice to stop at a railway station for a hot drink, especially if it is cold and wet, as it often is in this country. It's like mixing two pleasures in one.But I also love the old fashioned advertisement: "Stop  for Traditional Tea". Simple, clear, sober, yet warm and inviting.
