Time for Tea

Tea time at Linderhof

is every afternoon at half past three

Usually, it is just me

Occasionally Husband Jim will join me, but not often

And sometimes, a friend or two will stop by

Or perhaps I should say when a friend stops by it's a good excuse 

to put the kettle on!

I love the winter sunshine in the breakfast room

It makes for a nice tea time

And as mother always said

Make things nice for yourself

I had company for lunch and the china and silver were already out

So they're perfect this day for tea time

A pear and walnut muffin

From one of my favorite cookbooks, Country Weekend Entertaining, by Anna Pump

I'm surprised that I've never tried this recipe before

But it's a perfect receipe to use the last of the Harry and David pears!

And the rest . . . 

Make a nice plate to take to a friend 

It's Tuesday and I'm joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday.
