Bring back teatime!

Hands up if you take time out every day for afternoon tea. According to a survey of teatime habits by Country Living magazine, 96 per cent of us feel it’s a custom that’s been lost from today’s busy lives. Tea is still the most commonly consumed beverage in the world, according to the British Nutrition Foundation, but at-home teatime (we still drink it at our desks) has fallen by the wayside. So come on, folks! Dig out the vintage teacups and pour yourself a cuppa. (Crystal over at Plush Palate knows a great table setting when she sees one.) And while you’re at it, whip up a teacup posy to impress your friends. Click here to see how easy it is to create.
