Traditional ‘English’ afternoon tea has historically been associated with particular forms of, so-called, proper behaviour rituals. Is using a teabag in a silver teapot acceptable? Rituals and customs may point to our class origins but these are as slippery as a teabag suspended just out of reach of a gasping teapot.

Tea with Mary

My aunt Mary would always greet us at her house with a big firm hug and a splendid tea. These photographs document the last time I had tea with her at her house, a year before she died. It was a ‘traditional’, magnificent, English tea spread with sponge and fruit cakes, sandwiches and biscuits and with her lovely cups and eclectic mix of china.
