We are now the proud owners of a Brown Betty Teapot made by Price and Kensington. I purchased it from Wilkinson’s emporium at Crystal Peaks, Sheffield, £2.99. They also had a very nice spotty pot, but I did think that could be disorienting early in the morning. Later, I saw a lovely white teapot at […]
Dee Dee na na na
She says she is charging them four hours overtime tonight. Shouldn’t that be eight if she is using two laptops? Saturday night, I feel the air Is getting hot
Teapot, reimagined
I came across this in a page called “In praise of good design”. I think this has all the attributes we want. It looks like a teapot. It is not ludicrously expensive. BONUS: It has a built in strainer – no fishing for leaves or bags. It (allegedly) doesn’t drip (believe that when I see […]
