“Wherever you are in the world, you are at home when tea is served.”

According to the The UK Tea & Infusions Association 84% of the UK population drinks tea every day. Tea is my favourite drink as well. These pictures were taken in London at I believe at the outdoor seating of an Arab restaurant.

I love how they repurposed these old teapots into flower vases. It combines the British love of tea with their love of flowers.
What do you think, are these teapots your cup of tea?
Bath, England has a rather nice city centre that is walkable. Several streets across from the train station are closed to most vehicle traffic. There are a lot of restaurants, shops, and pubs. One thing they do is decorate the telephone boxes and streets in the shopping area. Below are just a few of the Bath telephone booths that are decorated.
Bath Telephone Booths – This one is next to the train station. Warning this one was hard to get a picture by itself on a Saturday. It seems to have a full schedule of photoshoots with Instagrammers.Bath Telephone Booths – An artist had fun with this telephone booth.
The photos above and below are made of Cotswold stone. Bath is at the edge of the Cotswolds.

The British love flowers. I love it when towns do something different to spuce up their city centres. What do you think? Do you have a favourite?
Monger’s Market is a vintage warehouse in Bridgeport, Ct. It is only open on Sundays. It can be closed on Sundays that are holidays. They have a variety of items you can see on their Facebook page. Some items are new while many are vintage or repurposed. These are just some of the items that caught my eye.
It appears to be modelled on an 18th Century outfit for a Scottish Highlanders regiment.. The socks resemble those of the 42 Highlanders. Feel free to correct me though if you know otherwise. This was actually in the neighbourhood of 3 feet high. This is fancier than most antique phones I have seen.A very unique locker lampOld bed twin bed head and foot frameI really loved the colours on this lamp base.Old Camera- I had to take a picture of this!
Parking
They have a small lot on premises and there is on street parking. I have heard it is better to get their early to get a parking spot.
Overall I would say this is worth a Sunday trip. Check their website or facebook page to make sure they are open or view some of the items they have.
