Reminiscence Café - Fancy a Cuppa?

Free, all welcome. Refreshments included.

The British cuppa has always been an essential part of our lives, with Winston Churchill reputedly calling it ‘more important than ammunition’ during WW2. Had a shock? Cup of tea (with plenty of sugar). Having a break? Cup of tea (with plenty of biscuits). Family teatime? Pot of tea and sandwiches (cucumber or jam butty?). Tea for children, hard working parents and the old – always a comfort. And then there was the old doctor’s advice to conquer a virus – plenty of hot drinks. What better than tea? Do you remember an occasion where a nice cup of tea came to the rescue, or its importance when meeting up with friends or neighbours? Was there always a pot on the go in your family? When did teabags start to take over from tealeaves for you, and what do you prefer? Come for tea and biscuits and tell us your stories about tea. Coffee drinkers also welcome of course!
