Time for Tea

As I sit here working on my next and final book on tea, it is time for tea.
Dreaming of walking by the sea or floating on a little boat sipping and nibbling.
The boat in the picture I made as a young girl.
It is a bit tattered, but still holds my Banana Sushi.
Have you made Banana Sushi for tea time with a little one?
It is a delight and oh so easy.
Take one banana and cut in 3/4 - 1 inch slices.
Wrap banana in a strip of same width fruit leather,
holding in place with a pick.
For the fish on top add Swedish gummy fish.
And there you have it, the perfect little delight to go with a cup of tea.

Reading short stories by Rosamunde Pilcher, The Blue Bedroom and other stories.  From Home for the Day:  " The kettle boiled.  He made tea, and filled a vacuum flask, found mugs, a bottle of milk, a packet of lump sugar.  He went through the cake tins and found a huge fruit loaf.  He cut three substantial slices, then put everything into a basket, pulled on an old jacket, and let himself out of the house. ...............He came up with his basket, feeling like the farmer's wife, He said, I thought it was time we all had a cup of tea."

Maybe some Banana Sushi could go into the basket
and take down to the sea.

Happy weekend, dear friends!
Make time for tea!
