Although you are a friend of mine
and comments we exchange
I wouldn't know you on the street
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a special place within my life,
your visits full of pleasure and delight
We share ideas and special posts
across these boundless coasts
In my mind I have a picture of you So for this friendship we possess
perhaps you picture me too
An intriguing game for both of us
this guessing game of clues
we owe this blog a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.
Two lovely ladies who enjoy afternoon tea have taken the time to form afternoon tea clubs for all tea lovers of Blogshire. They would like to invite you to join them in posting afternoon tea and/or friendship related articles and photos each Tuesday. Here is your chance to share your lovely tea adornments, a favourite tea or friendship related poem or quote, a delicious recipe or a combination of all of the above.

I love the poem and the idea. Im going to try and think up of a tea post for a tuesday :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i tried your idea of the cardomom in the tea. I just did one pod in my cup, but i crushed it a bit first. i really liked it :) (but as usual most of the flavour is in the last sip :)).
Well you are my afternoon tea, Queen ... Duchess!
ReplyDeleteI really love the words, so interesting. The photo's were delectable.

Beautiful, Duchess! Love your poem and the lovely tea setting...how I enjoy visiting you for a sweet cup of tea in one of your beautiful china cups! I agree, its amazing that we have such friends that we've never met. I think it proves one thing...that we are bonded by life itself...we don't have many differences, but many similarities because we are women, and were created to communicate, to decorate, and to relate, and blogging is the perfect avenue for expressing ourselves. I so love finding other lovers, but I also love my blogging friends for the variety and new interests that they bring my way. This was a great post...really touched me.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, Duchess,
Mary
