Rose Tea Cottage

Where tea is served at half past four




I thank you all for an incredible year

May your glass be ever full

May the sun shine for you all day long
May everything go right, and nothing wrong

May you always have laughter to cheer you,
those you love near you,
and all your heart might desire before you!

May God grant you always...
A sunbeam to warm you,
A moonbeam to charm you,
A sheltering angel, so nothing can harm you!

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light
May good luck pursue you each morning and night


May you have love that never ends,
lots of money, and lots of friends.
Health be yours, whatever you do,
and may God send many blessings to you!

Happy New Year




Did you survive Chritmas?

I certainly did, actually mine was fabulous!!!
My dad's halo came off successfully which was an occasion to celebrate all on its own. Rose Tea Cottage was beautifully dressed for Christmas and was filled with love, laughter, family and friends. My children were extremely generous and showered me with thoughfully selected pressies in beautifully wrapped boxes... I felt truly blessed.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas surrounded with family, love, scrumptious food, pots of tea and loads of lovely pressies.
Darling, do tell me all about it.





Merry Christmas

Joyeux Noël

May your holidays sparkle and shine


Wishing you heartfelt greetings and bountiful blessings







Have a lovely weekend




A million thanks for all your well wishes.
I am overwhelmed by your love laced comments and emails
which lifted my spirits and helped me endure the horrible flu that kept me away from you.

I took all of your advices…
I got plenty of rest and drank a million cups of tea
(with lemon and honey of course)

I am also delighted to report that my dad is on the mend
and that his halo will be removed early January in time for
his birthday. I thank you all for inquiring about his health.
What have I done to deserve such a caring circle of friends?

While home with the flu, I had the time to read
Barbara Taylor Bradford’s new novel, Breaking The Rules.
This is a spin-off novel in the Woman of Substance series
or better known as the Harte Family Saga. I highly
recommend this book and the entire series.
Beautifully written, excellent read!!

There are two motives for reading a book:
one,that you enjoy it;
the other, that you can boast about it.

This year Father Christmas will not be the only
guest of honour at Rose Tea Cottage!!
My cousins will arrive on Thursday from Paris
to spend Christmas with me.

I know I have failed in my blogging duties of late and now
with a cottage full of family and friends it will be impossible for
me to blog regularly, do forgive me darlings!!
I am certain this will be the case with all of you during
this special time of the year.

I have just a few days to decorate my cottage
and be ready for my guests to arrive.

Darlings now do sit down with me and tell me all
about your Christmas plans over a nice cup of tea.
