connoisseur of teas

Back in the day a friend at school used to call my stepdad the fine wine connoisseur. He was a dab hand with a corkscrew and the name seemed to fit.... these days I think we request more tea than wine.... or tea with wine chasers. Anyway, the picture tells the story.

Today we entertained my little sister with church, lunch, manchester, coffee (which she doesn't like) etc etc. Twas fun! Then we were fed by the parents who had enjoyed a nice break in the lakes and returned laden with cake.
