Whilst I sort myself out and make some retrospective posts, I just wanted to put up these two photos I shot in Whittards of Chelsea.
The garden sets are : mugs in the shape of a terracotta flower pot with a coaster on top, presumably to keep your tea hot whilst you are gardening (I like what’s written – ‘I don’t go to the gym ... I garden’ & ‘You’ve got to propagate to accumulate ...’); tall mugs like long toms; sugar and creamer set of small pot with a spade-shaped spoon and watering can milk jug; and I believe the tea set has a watering can for a teapot.
I love Whittards and think these are so cute. Perhaps they are rather twee, but they made me smile even though I resisted the urge to purchase anything other than some teas.

What precious mugs. I especially like the one that said "I don't go to the gym, I garden". Maybe with the rain you had, it seemed as if you were back in England.

Oh! Whittards in Dorchester? I was there on Friday (20th September) admiring the gardening china.
Wouldn't it have been fun to have coincided?

jan : I was back in England and have some posts I need to make retrospectively.
lucy : it was in Dorchester on Monday 15th. I had planned to see if you, Esther (if she was back from Mars), Mrs Rustbridger, Susan Harwood & anyone else living locally could have got together over a coffee. Unfortunately, where I was staying there was no internet access & I didn’t have time to go to the library. Perhaps next time ?
"...a coaster on top, presumably to keep your tea hot whilst you are gardening" and to keep bugs and bird poop out. I have learned to cover my drinks out in the garden. Also, learned not to set a drink containing sugar on the ground - hoards of ants! Love the tea shop and china!
