“When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?”
― Muriel Barbery, The Elegance of the Hedgehog
My friends, my children, my husband always expect me to keep tea time afternoon rituals. It means they know that we will spend regular time together, and we do honor the greatness of small times together. Last Friday, amidst the stress of a challenging time, (listen to TTT podcast), I captured such a ritual of turning to my friend for sympathy, fun, and, of course, the ritual of taking coffee (or tea) after a great meal. And my heart was restored.
Hi everyone, it’s @jacquiwakelam here taking over Sally’s post for today. As you read above and will hear more about on today’s TTT podcast, Sally and I made time to renew our souls last week. We walked the little shopping area in London and soaked in the many beautiful sights as well as some great coffee served by Vasilis from @thehagenproject . We ate the most delectable lunch, shopped in beautiful places, walked by the most gorgeous window dressings. We came upon a sign that said, “Best Coffee of all the cafes!) They also make the most scrumptious vanilla and chocolate rolls each Weds and Fri, of course had to try, yum! Can you find the serendipitous word in our photo? I hope you can find some beauty and take time to refresh your soul today - Jacqui x
London, oh London!
