I just found this wonderful vintage, bone china tea set which looks great teamed with some 1960s  green Poole pottery that I had hanging around at home – can’t wait to fill with them up with candles! They conjure up images of country cottage gardens, bunting, cream teas and steaming hot cups of Earl Grey tea don’t you think?  Nobody does tea like the English, it’s a shame that the number of sunny days is now on the decline….
