The topiaries were alot of work but they do pretty up my mantel. I really should try and do the wreath too.<br /><br />My friend, I so admire your spirit! I love it that you didn't give up after your accident and sit around feeling sorry for yourself. <br />We have some things in common, you and I, but my life changes came about because of an illness that set in unexpectedly when I was still young and raising my family. It was devastating at the time, but with God's help and that of my family, I was able to finally accept that this was the way my life was going to be and I decided to make the best of it. Of course, there were many changes to be made and I had to learn what my limitations were which was difficult in the beginning. However, I think I'm stronger and more compassionate now because of it. One of the most difficult things for me is to write. I used to have a really nice hand and I used to love sending cards and letters. But the MD has robbed me of that. Oh, but I'm glad I can still type! <br /> <br />Thank you, dear Celia, for being a constant inspiration to all of us. <br /><br />Blessings and hugs,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-4804781406020996522012-03-08T18:10:21.274-05:002012-03-08T18:10:21.274-05:00Lovely post.

My fav...A friend introduced me to both years back. My favorite is still low tea. The reason some people refer to low tea (afternoon tea) as high tea is because some make the distinction depending on the table it's served on. High tea if it's a sit down table where you place the cup and saucer and other china before you. Low tea if it's a coffee table or side serving table/buffet where you'd have your cup and saucer at hand. But the proper terms are as you have shared.<br />Always fun to stop by, Celia.<br />Much love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-83324246197186396242012-03-08T14:59:00.525-05:002012-03-08T14:59:00.525-05:00I never knew the difference between High tea and L...I never knew the difference between High tea and Low tea.

Anyway, afternoon tea is a daily routine for us!<br />Laughed at your sign to the side that reads: Keep Calm... Yep, all my followers poofed while I was checking blogs on my iPhone in Curaçao and I thought, oh it's the iPhone. But at home on two different browsers NOTHING showed. Got my Linky too but isn't this sick that Blogger over and over creates such problems. Trying to research it in order to find out more drains our time. I quite. Be it as it is and I can't worry about it.<br />Lots of love to you and I'm trying so hard to catch up on things...<br />MarietteMariettes Back to Basicshttp://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-82529328484712756732012-03-07T18:51:46.843-05:002012-03-07T18:51:46.843-05:00I never knew that there was a difference, what fun...I never knew that there was a difference, what fun to find out. I have gone to afternoon tea a few times and it's lovely. I think the most fun I had was when we had an afternoon tea party for my daughters 8th birthday. It was so cute to see little girls all dressed up and acting like ladies!! What a fun visit, thank you!! And, thank you for your lovely comments on Sue's blog. They meant the world to me.

So tea has been a part of my life, all my life.<br />We don't have tea every day but since, as you know, dinner is quite late here in Buenos Aires, an afternoon tea is perfect for tiding you over until dinner.<br />In summer, I am more interested in something cool to drink but in cold weather, tea is a must.<br />We found a new place that sells amazing tea so I have stocked up ..<br />cheers :)Notes From ABroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202279303962539035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-89976874622225828732012-03-07T17:18:57.681-05:002012-03-07T17:18:57.681-05:00I'd have to say I'm a low tea person.

We have always loved it and finding a tea room when we are looking for a meal is a great treat for us, here or in the UK. The ambiance, relaxing pace and presentation of even the simplest recipes is a joy. Great post...I know many people don't realize the difference. Our families also further differentiated with "meat tea" from the other if something like roast or a hot dish were served as well...<br />Cheers!<br />RRuth...Time Was Antiqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998339926706921435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806321148001582068.post-43421462586085893052012-03-07T02:28:15.712-05:002012-03-07T02:28:15.712-05:00I would have to say afternoon tea - I love cucumbe...I would have to say afternoon tea - I love cucumber sandwiches, with or without the crust, dainty petit fours, yummy tiny delicacies!
