<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 11408, member: 121&quot;]Oh, to possess such a lovely tea service! First I would find pride of place amongst my other six services so this delightfully serene set could shine proudly but with proper modesty! Then I would order the best tea possible – surely Fortnum &amp; Mason can supply a worthy blend? After setting some cream to clot I would bake off a batch of the most tender scones and uncap the last jar of raspberry preserves…………..polish the spoons, dust off the Rosenthal cups, search out Grandma’s Battenberg lace serviettes, lookup some tall, virgin white candles and arrange a bowl of violets for the center………………..invite the attractive ex-pat Nanny from down the street in for an afternoon of proper tea au deux.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But you had better ship it in a LARGE carton – because THAT is what I will be living in if I spend that sort of money! Landladies do NOT understand the importance of a nice tea…………………..especially when put up against the monthly rent……</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So on second consideration, you’d better NOT put me in the running………………………sob…………….[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
