Ribh's D'Coopage

We picked the table up this morning. It needs a good clean and oil and that should do it for now.

Great find
I had one exactly the same but it was too big for my room. I adore these old pieces

Thank you. I was pleased with it. I think it perfectly captures her character. She is very inquisitive - one might almost say nosy - so she couldn't possibly stay away from the bit of tidying up I was doing.
Maybe I will post it on POW.

I think you should.

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

So far I prefer Bigelow over Twinnings although I do like the Twinnings berry tea for an afternoon treat sometimes.

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?

It is very lovely. You did well!

You cannot beat root ginger cloves and turmeric with a nice dollop of honey . The teabags are okay as a quick fix but I have to add more than one bag

Sorry, Marie. Cloves are disgusting! They're like eating something furry.

Very nice, Shad. Will you refurbish in time?

Only once and it was from a stale teabag and I didn't like it. I should try again with at least a fresh teabag.

That's a really nice table! Did you say it was oak? I love the grain through the table top.
