Sunday Tea

I have the best job in the world

I write articles for two magazines

on local cooks.

The cooks invite me into their kitchen

and we chat

and they provide a recipe

and the dish that that recipe makes.

I photograph

both the cook and the dish

And when I leave, often I get to take things home.

Saturday, I was in Nevada

interviewing next month's cook

He made lemon blueberry scones.

He sent me home with two!

Often on Sundays we have a Sunday Lunch

We've now been eating out for Sunday Lunch

A big meal

In the middle of the day.

Instead of dinner

we often chose tea instead.

With Mike's lemon blueberry scones

and a pot of Earl Grey

It was a lovely late afternoon respite

After some time in the garden

And a Sunday nap!

When we have tea on Sunday

it is Sunday and so we chose china instead of our beloved blue and white

My other collection

Asian inspired bird and chrysanthemum china

in pinks and greens and aquas

The scone, perfect for tea

With an English bone handled fork

On a Royal Stafford Rock Bird tea plate

The cups and saucers are Spode Famille Rose

Like the blue and white, I think the variety of these Asian patterns work well together.

It's late afternoon,

the dogs have been taken to the park for their weekly run,

the nap's been taken

We found the scones lovely!

And perfect for Sunday Tea.

I'm joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday and Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Inspire Me Tuesday.
