r teain bed with our two boys – a moment of
lmbefore the day begins.

ormally drink herbal tea throughout themorning but, if I’m struggling, I may have
another coffee, made on the stove.
Do you have a mug of choice?
I like a fine china mug and it mustn’t be too big.
My husband thinks that I’m fancy for caring
about the cup I drink my tea out of...
How do you like to spend a tea break?
I love to sit at the corner seat in our living room,
with a magazine or creative book. I sometimes
have lunch as early as 11.30am, but always follow
it with a cup of tea. Lately, we’ve been making
an effort to consume more consciously and I’ve
been enjoying a fresh leaf pot in the afternoons,
before it’s time to pick the boys up from school.
One last cup for the day?
I always end the day with a herbal tea. I take it
to bed with me and read a few pages of my book.
My favourites are Pukka tea’s Nighttime or a
camomile – something calming and soothing.WEASKED FLORAL ARTIST BEX PARTRIDGE
