Twinings do an English Breakast tea that is decent.
I think it comes in a yellow and something coloured box.
I drink green tea every now and then.
I drink Yorkshire Tea as my normal tea. It's not great on flavour but it's easy to make a strong cup of tea with. I buy teabags for the Yorkshire tea but use a teapot for green and Twinings.
I think I've got some Earl Grey somewhere.

For me, Yorkshire proper strong teabags make a very good and quick tea during a work day.

I'll have to try this Twinings loose leaf EB. I've only ever seen the teabag variety.

The twinnings is one I know I definitely don't like.

That's interesting that Sif has been able to take up her previous tribe status after quite a long period of absence. I've seen lots of posts where people have said a hen away from the group/tribe/flock for even a few days will lose her place to another hen.
Thing is, that's not what I've seen and in many ways it doesn't make tribal sense. Sat the/a top hen goes broody and sits, hatches and rears her chicks away from the tribe. None that I observed who did this had any problems reestablisheing their position. No violence involved.
If the hen has returned with her chicks to the tribe coop she may be wary of the other hens for the first few nights while the chicks learn who one does and who one doesn't argue with. As soon as she leaves the chicks to fend for themselves, she, the hen resumes at her previous position.

Peggy and ivy eased back into the flock without any trouble. I'll go so far as to say Janet and Mary were relieved to have them back on the roost.

What I did find out at the dinner mentioned above that eating on your lap isn't quite what people expect. I've been looking for a small gate legged table, legs with barley twist ends recatngular leg ends. I have room for a such a table and I had one some years ago. If Gate Leg isn't how you describe such a table then perhaps the description Drop Leave Table makes it clear the type of table I'm on about.
I've been looking a while and they are about on the various boards but those I've seen that I'm interested in were either in the North of England ( a few hundred miles to drive) or way too much money.

I found one today and I've bought it. Hopefully we will be picking it up tomorrow. It's in South Wales, about three quarters of an hours drive away. I'm quite excited. I can work on one these tables. At the moment I just have the desk the computer on that could be used to work on.
I'll post a picture once I've got it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it! I had a drop leaf table in my flat, but it was mid-century with stainless steel legs and a laminate top. Very handy in my small kitchen!

The blue sheen on her spots is stunning!

How is your tea drinking going? Have you had a chance to try something else?

Have you tried Twinings Lady Grey tea? I like it even better than Earl Grey. the bergamot flavour is not as strong I think.

Huh. The quote function is working for me now on this thread..... how did I manage that?

Chicken tax from long ago.
