T is for Tea!

All my life I've been a confirmed tea drinkerEven as a baby I used to take hot, sweet tea in my bottle I was very attached to my bottle of teaAnd having spoken to my Mum about it this morningShe tells me that I used my bottle of tea as a comfort up until the age of fourI can remember hiding said bottle when people came over Since then Tea has been a source of warmth and comfort to meThat first cup in the morning is heaven And when I smokedA cuppa and a cigarette could put the world to right I can't lie I miss that feeling A hot steaming cup of teaAnd a Carrolls cigarette Anything could be solved over itI've never been a coffee drinkerMost of my family are coffee drinkers But I've never developed a taste for itI wish I liked coffeeAs it looks very sophisticated And I'd love to go in to a coffee shop and order a long blackBut noI am a dedicated tea drinkerAnd nothing else will do
It wasn't until I developed my ED That my tea drinking got out of hand If tea drinking can get out of handNow I must drink 10- 15 cups a day Depending on what I am doing If I am at home I will make one cup after another And drink it like it is going out of fashionI also have particular cups that I drink out of I'm very picky about my cups The need to be narrow Quite tall Preferably with a nice designI don't like cups with an internal colour I like them to be white on the insideI have my favorite cupsAnd no other cups will do
When I gave up smoking It took me quite a while to get used to having a cup of tea without a smoke It just wasn't the same But as they say You can make or break a habit in 21 daysAnd eventually Like everything I got used to itOhAnd the tea has to be Barry's I don't use sugar that much anymore And use 4 sweeteners insteadRight I'm off to make another cuppaSee you on the next post....
Are you a tea or coffee drinker?
