2656 Cambridge - Meeting with University Press editor to decide next step on my book on Tea. Going digital. Take too many forests to print.8:18 AM Jun 2nd from web

beadsland@Wendell_Howe Encyclopedia Britannica? In print? You're showing your era, good sir.8:50 AM Jun 2nd from web in reply to Wendell_Howe

@beadsland It's a very old saying. They do have them in the larger libraries, but they are mostly for show.11:43 AM Jun 2nd from web in reply to beadsland

kagillogly@Wendell_Howe Glad to hear that 2526 still has forests. My study was reforestation in 20th/21st c SE Asia. It worked?!11:18 AM Jun 2nd from web in reply to Wendell_Howe

@kagillogly 2656 - Yes, we do have forests thanks to the tireless efforts of reforesters of centuries past and careful management today.11:47 AM Jun 2nd from web in reply to kagillogly

astradaemon@Wendell_Howe I think a book about tea sounds interesting.7:28 PM Jun 2nd from web in reply to Wendell_Howe

@astradaemon Thank you. I find Tea fascinating. It was what brought the classes together and pushed the drive for the British Empire...7:44 PM Jun 2nd from web in reply to astradaemon

@astradaemon 2656 Cambridge...plus tea has antioxidants. It both soothes and invigorates. Nectar of the gods!7:46 PM Jun 2nd from web in reply to astradaemon

@kgregson Yes, I forgot tea cookies. Also tea biscuits, tea sandwiches, tea cakes. Oh dear, I'm going to need to add a recipe section!8:10 PM Jun 2nd from web in reply to kgregson

spugs@Wendell_Howe Perhaps: tea sandwich recipes, serving tongs, honey/cream/sugar server, gloves, fans... what music is fitting? What's a cozie?3:40 AM Jun 3rd from web in reply to Wendell_Howe

@spugs Tea cozy or cosy is teapot cover. They can be knitted, crocheted, quilted or whatever. Keeps tea from getting cold during tea party.8:39 AM Jun 3rd from web in reply to spugs

scaree@Wendell_Howe I'm not sure if tea roses and high tea were Victorian accomplishments? Fairly sure tea dances are later.11:31 PM Jun 2nd from twibble in reply to Wendell_Howe

scaree@Wendell_Howe Oops, sorry, I missed your reference to high tea.11:32 PM Jun 2nd from twibble in reply to Wendell_Howe

2656 Cambridge - @scaree You are correct about tea roses. They're a variation of China Rose brought to Europe from far east in early 1800's8:30 AM Jun 3rd from web

2656 - @scaree However the hybrid tea rose is Victorian. Don't tell anyone but the French were first. The English just perfected them.8:32 AM Jun 3rd from web

scaree@Wendell_Howe I love the smell of hybrid tea roses. All this talk of tea gives me a hankering for toasted tea cakes ...10:19 AM Jun 3rd from web in reply to Wendell_Howe
