Almost half-way on my quest for 40 QCTs (Qualifying Cups of Tea). This is me and my chum Aileen A at Baxters tea room in Strathaven enjoying a particularly fine cuppa. You will note that we are partaking of that pinnacle of refinement - the pot of tea for two.
If there is a more civilised beverage that the pot of tea for two, then I am yet to discover it. The moment that the waitress brings over the two shiny pots, an air of gentile relaxation decends over the proceedings. One settles into one's wicker chair. An afternoon of scones, pleasant company and juicy gossip stretches out in front of you. Who needs OK magazine when you have a confidante and a pot of tea for two?
The very fact that there are two pots suggests indulgence. Just whe you think you have drained the pot, you remember that there is another steaming vessel of hot water primed and ready to brew up another pot of tea.
