One of the true delights of the visit from Sam, Bill, and Ian, was Ian's teaching Karen and Connie the way to make a proper cup of tea....Yorkshire of course! Like Animaterra, they now feel that Bill Sables is the "Tea God" as he had passed on his methods to them under the tutelage of young Ian. There were several magical moments in that short visit and I think of them often, especially when either Karen or Connie prepares a proper cuppa.

Sadly though, I still hate tea......as a typical cretinous American, make mine coffee.
