☕️🌍 Oh look, another riveting piece attempting to convince us that the mighty British Empire is finally packing up its #teabags and fancy hats. Meanwhile, the sun is too busy trying to figure out how time zones work to even care. 🕶️🌅

The Sun Sets On The British Empire

A while ago I treated you to a dissertation entitled “Does The Sun Set On The British Empire?”, and concluded that it doesn't. The UK's widely scattered overseas territories, sparse though they are, mean that the sun is still always shining, somewhere in the world, over British territory.

Thanks - that "milk in first" makes good sense to me if a teapot is being used and it has been allowed to cool somewhat while brewing.

Shane, shame, shame on the family:
Don't tell anyone but I'm using #Teabags.
In part due to #Accessibility.
And I can keep the liquid in the cups very hot.
I hope nobody would voluntarily put the milk in first for teabags. Though this has been observed at MacDonalds and petrol stations. [The Scream]

IMPORTANT QUESTION - can you buy teabags in Finland - such as some from the UK or Ireland might drink? i.e. black tea / breakfast tea that you have with milk #Tea #TeaBags #Cuppa #FinnishTea #FinnishTeaBags #Finland #Helsinki

Premium quality, premium price box of #TeaBags from #Twinings.

Box fails to open when "Pull Here" tabs are pulled.

🧵 For all who like to see my #scrollBook project in progress, I start a thread for new photos.
The idea: Having art small enough for a handbag or hanged on a wall. 'Writing' a #book that can't get copied by AI or people - but can be inspiring for others.
Materials: A vintage wooden bobbin, tea-dyed coton flannel, #teaBags, #sareeSilk scraps, #lace, #embroidery, glass rocailles.
