We are particularly blessed today as the Supreme Council for Public Holidays has decided that we all need to get more exercise and a Sport Day has been declared. (I am not one to talk but the local population has an obesity rate of about 85% and diabetes problems to match.)
It is mere chance that this year, the inaugural Sport Day coincides with St Valentine's Day.
In true glutton-fashion, we commenced our healthy-living day with breakfast of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, wholemeal toast, tomatoes, eggs and gammon steak (imported from London last year).
Here is the teapot, the one I use all the time:
with the red teapot from Primus at Christmas, in the background. This teapot has a felted metal lid which keeps the tea nice and hot. It also has a removable basket which I sometimes fill with chai spices to add piquancy to my tea, and it pours brilliantly without dripping. This is the four-cup version. We like the teapot so much we also have a six-cup one for when the family is here.
Breakfast was slightly delayed while my seat-warmer was removed:
Here you can see our new kitchen table in all its glory:

I have to confess to a preference for "smiley" teapots - especially red ones! The table though, is a table to die for.
We used to have a teapot like that when I was a child. I went off it when it got moths (yes, it really did) Admittedly it had not been used for a while. But don't forget to check your six cup one now and then!
On that delightful note, happy valentines day!
Like the table and chairs. Hmmm so when can I expect an invitation for a high tea party?
That is remarkably smart for a kitchen table. Very elegant.
