Tea time

My father was teetotal - I think I saw him have two sips of wine at a family Christmas gathering when I was young. I've not followed this, although I'm a pretty moderate drinker. I started drinking cider in my latish teens, never beer and rarely spirits, despite a taste for malt whisky.

My father was a tea fan, and that's something I've never found a taste for. He used to say 'it heats you up when you're cold and cools you down when you're warm' which always struck me as bonkers. The pic is some green tea we have in the house, but even with that, even with the various teas available, nothing has passed my lips. No beer and no tea if you're offering.
