When it is too cold to step over the doorstep, to sit by the river with a pot of char and freshly made strawberry filled scones. When all I have in the house is some breakfast tea and a packet of digestive biscuits, I like to let my mind wander. I drift off to sunnier days, the loveliest views, the finest china and I dream about my perfect fantasy tea...

Here's my selection today, what would yours be?
