Bernideen's Tea Time is a lovely site for getting your inspiration for all things tea! Today she is hosting Friends with Tea a delightful theme that just set me into action to have a spot of tea this afternoon..... today's mail brought me the Winter edition of Scotland magazine which always intrigues me with new destinations for my dream itinerary to the Highlands someday!
So as I was researching a bit of my favorite place on earth,, I decided to enjoy an bit of Celtic tea!
Years ago we were very much involved with the Celtic society here in our area... and we attended highland games in Grandfather Mountain... there we found this gorgeous pottery from Buchan.... depicting the beautiful national flower of Scotland... the thistle..
A simple repast of apples and cheese was just the bit of goodness to enjoy with my Lady Earl Grey.... and here is the exquisite site I was researching... Taymouth Castle...situated on Loch Tay at the gateway of the Scottish Highlands... now this has been a lovely afternoon escape!
Your teapot and cup are pretty with the Scottish thistle. I'm not sure if that is a tartan clan tablecloth or just a nice plaid you have but it compliments your Scottish tea.
