Have a spiffing trip. :moped:

One does one's best to create some form of standards amongst these ex-colonial heathens.

I had an interview here, where I got the job, but was told , never to come to work in jacket and tie again...:eek: Barbarians.:potkettle

at last a bit of refinement better than that lower class rabble falling out with each other over triffling matters:thumb2

I'd fight for trifle though...you can't get it here. Sherry soaked sponge fingers, custard, jelly and fruit with cream and a fancy glace cherry...quinticentially civilised nosh.
 
May you always sup from a china cup.
May your sugar bowl always be full.
With jersey milk to top up thy brew
and that Sir, i mean - no bull.


Your efforts i praise,
much money do raise!
For no trip could be any finer.

Such adventure is valid,
may thy tea ne'er be pallid,
be it Earl grey, Green or plain China.


I wish you the best,
whether north, east, south or west.
I do hope your waters well boiled.


For we all do admire you,
adventure will tire you.
Many miles you will have toiled.

So keep in fine fettle,
a good copper kettle.
A caddy to store precious leaves in.

A good china 'pot
adds flavour - a lot.
This; the sum of what to believe in.

It just remains to be said,
your leaves will be read,
your blog and your videos seen.


I'll sit with my brew
and raise it to you.
Three cheers from me
and three teas for you!

:clap

Dear boy, do mind one's fingers in the sugar bowl.

More tea ?

This is the USA!
I've lived in houses older than this State, so do you think they would have such things as sugar tongues (which they'd spell tongs, along with color and flavor)?
It took me ages to find cubes rather than sugar in little paper straws or sachets.

How on earth they manage to dress themselves is beyond me.:nenau

My flabber is well and truly gasted. So much time and thought, I may have to ask for the rights to use that elsewhere.

Thank you, very much.

I spent today at the North West Tea Festival, just below the Space Needle in Seattle. I was promoting the the charities I'm riding for and the fact that if you visit www.threecupsoftea.com and use it as your source for discounted books, then the charities will benefit too.

That's a good thing. Also good was the number of corporate pledges, the largest being $5k...so a good days work. Same tomorrow, with the added tea-leaf reading. Then Monday, the ride begins.

Do you know, I was at the Tea Festival from 10am to 6pm and never got a cuppa.
 
Spiffing show old bean, do you need a caddy:augie

I'm a Scottish blend man myself

Good luck you seem a decent sort:beerjug:
 
Splendid video, and a fine plan, for which you have my magnanimous approbation. One comment however .... which may appear petty, but nevertheless important when partaking of tea with company unknown.
Having fingernails which clearly spent an exorbitant amount of time between your front teeth, will not give a good impression to the native who has a modicum of knowledge regarding gentlemans standards.

May I suggest that you postpone your sojourn until the nails have reached a millimeter past the quick, or remember to pack a decent pair of gloves.

I think good sir, that your monitor may be dirty, as only that day, did I have my Butler, butle my nails and they are finely buffed.

I do normally serve tea wearing white gloves however, if that helps.
 
San Diego day 5

It's a non-mover of a day. Tom needs to get his bike fixed and tyres tyred, so I've blogged.

I've blogged loads of stuff, but you will see that Day 4 doesn't have a to camera piece, that's because I've still got to ride with Tom. Now I know he'll never look here, so I'll post it in a moment.

We have another problem, namely Norbert...I know what a crapulent name for a magnitude 4 storm (katrina was a 3). It's due to hit Baja when we do, so a route change may be in order and that could change the dynamics of the journey...I hope for the better.
 
context is difficult over a screen but, i get the impression your kettle is....
'simmering' :D
.
Ta for the update - keep us posted.
:)

oh - just a suggestion;
have as your signature - a link to the blog site :nenau - makes it easy to click and read up ;)

La Paz Baha.

Waiting for a ferry.

Spent a day covering 120 miles of desert, which resulted in one fall (Tom), one tent (mine) and one very uncomfortable nights sleep. There´s gas at a shop in the middle of the desert, but only if the guy with the truck is there. Thank god he was, or we still would be.
For a lightweight dual sport, most of what we did would be fun. For a fully loaded GS, it wasn´t, it was hard work.

Still La Paz has cold drinks, warm showers and soft beds and that´s where I am...so all is well with the world.
