There’s always time for tea!
Here we are – coming up to the end of the first week of 2024.
If the week between Christmas and New Year feels like all the engines are off, the first week of January can feel like the gears are just cranking up, broadcasting complaints, and getting ready to launch creakily into the unknown.
Not quite nothing happening.
Just not quite sure what’s happening!
I’ve taken down the Christmas decorations, and started a bit of a plan around drawing and writing throughout the year. Nothing spectacular, but probably more sustainable than a big New Year resolution 🙂 .
I wasn’t too well at the beginning of the week, but getting better now. It helped me see how easy it is to be recuperating in this house – comfortable, able to stay cool fairly easily, and all the essential living areas are on one level and easy to get to.
I’ve still managed to do washing and dishes. You don’t realise how lovely it is to be able to get things clean until you have random times in your life when you can’t manage cleaning…
The roses are still taking their place inside, joined now by geraniums.
With a bonus dragonfly!
The space left after packing away Christmas decorations seemed just right to hold my collection of teapots, cups and plates. They’ll probably need a wash before I use them – not sure what will happen with the dust. Nice teasets need to be seen, though 🙂 .
Who knows what’s ahead as we swing into 2024?
At least we can remember to stop sometimes for a cup of tea.

Thank you 🙂 May there be many cups of calming tea in your year!
