This is a space to sit and enjoy a cup of tea, a breath of air, a ray of sunshine.
Welcome to my Afternoon Tea.

The Second Cup

Don't worry, I won't end up naming all my blogs after how many there are. Did that really make any sense? Probably not, but I think maybe you get the picture. So you won't have to worry about reading The 27th Cup or something equally as imaginative. That would destroy any ideas you might have about my creativity... and I can't have that, now can I?

So I have discovered that having a blog is like having a really ugly, really terrible monster you have to care for. Yes, that sounds quite severe, but it is how I feel! I have to feed this bloomin' creature, and I cannot find food for it... anywhere! Well, that's not exactly true, but the food I find has to be developed and processed, and that is not an easy thing. You can't just pour it out of a tin and into a bowl. There is a quite a bit of work involved, and that takes quite a bit of time.

...Quite a bit.

However, I will now attempt to feed my monster. It's just, there is so much food, and so little time! Oh well. Better get on then.

So as you all know, I am in York, England. Everyone's first question is, "What's the weather like?!" Well, just so you all know, it is quite moody, but always cold. One day it will be dreadfully cloudy and I will feel like sleeping all day, or crying possibly, and then the very next day it will be absolute sunshine and happiness - spring, really. So basically, if you want to know what the weather is like, it is rainy, sunny, rainy, rainy and windy, cold, sunny and windy, overcast, cold, and cold and windy. It's a lot like southern Oregon, only bitterly cold, in my opinion.

One of the next questions is, "What is it like?!" And everyone wants to know about the scenery. Well, here in York, I haven't seen much of the countryside, but everything is brick. Well, obviously not EVERYTHING, but seriously, over 95% is brick. And most of the buildings are older than the very United States.

Have you ever felt young and annoying? Well here is a wake up call: the U.S.A. is young and annoying. Don't get all offended with that, but seriously. We are like a baby nation and we want to tell everyone how to run things. It seriously gets on people's nerves. I'm tainted for being American. RUDE! Hahaha okay I'm done with that rant now. Now on to the juicy stuff!

Actually, I feel like I can't adulterate the amazingness of the next post with the content of this post, so I will make a new Cup!

Yeah, I know that I said I wouldn't call them according to numbers of cups, but that is a logical, organized way to do it, so I just might do that. And it is in accordance with my new tea addiction, so it is actually quite legitimate. Don't you love how I can have one thing absolutely decided and then change it only by the end of a single blog post?
I am a woman. That should be explanation enough.

Now go to my next blog. =]

  4. Love it Jillie (-: I think half the time that is what a blog is for. It helps you get your thoughts out and then of course it makes sence to be at a different conclusion at the end than you were at the beginning. (-: Miss you and glad you are enjoying your time even if it is mostly cold. (-: Did you take the picture in your post? It is really pretty (-:
