Bush Tea


(cc)



Anyone that has a slight glimpse into my mind knows that a cup of tea is not just a cup of tea, nor is a cappuccino just a cappuccino. These daily rituals are a matter of our senses being awakened topped off with stimulating conversation; or, if alone a saoking in of one's environment.
I missed book club this last week. We reviewed a book from the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, which takes place Botswana. So in lieu of the series, I will share one of my fav quotes.




Mr Badule nodded eagerly. He seemed close to tears for some reason, and Mma Ramotswe (detective) knew that the ritual of tea, with the mugs hot against the hand, would somehow make the story flow and would ease the mind of this troubled man.
p. 130 (from the 2nd book in the series)
