2016: A Retrospective

As the crazy roller coaster ride that was 2016 comes to an end, it's time to look back at this year's favourite tea moments.

January: My blog turned 1!











December: My tea-themed tree.

Thank you all for all the visits and comments throughout 2016.

Happy New Year!

Special thanks also go out to the lovely hosts of the parties that I join each week:

Bring on 2017!

    Hi Margie, thanks for your comment on my blog!
    Wow, tea really ruled your live in 2016, looks like you had a lot of fun with it.
    I think it is super cool that you have met Stephen Twinings, he comes across so very British. Makes me want to visit England immediately, again.
    Wishing you a wonderful, tea filled 2017!
    Warm regards,
    Christina

    Margie, it was fun looking back at your year in tea. And congratulations on your almost two years of blogging! I'm coming up on 7 years and think I've only been able to sustain it because of posting just once a week (on Thursdays). Wishing you a wonderful 2017.

    Dear Margie:
    I think August where bloggers meet up is my favorite! Such great fun. I have 2 blogging friends here in Columbia and we go out regularly for shopping and lunch/tearooms. Thanks for sharing and participating Margie!

    Hi Margie,
    I loved seeing all of your favourite tea times in 2016. I look forward to seeing you again in 2017. I agree with Bernideen - August really was a highlight. (I need some tea friends in B.C.) Have a wonderful New Year! Karen

    Margie, your photos are lovely! I have always loved tea and when you mentioned Twinings I perked up, because I am just now sipping a lovely cup of Twinings English Breakfast Tea! I also have a box of Twinings Earl Grey Tea! Thank you so much for sharing, and warm greetings and Happy New Year from Montreal, Canada. :)
