The cup of tea ...

Armed with a tiny electric travel kettle (I haven't yet worked out the gas connection and it scares me slightly) I geared up to make the mug of tea.  After breaking my mug by knocking it off the only work surface I resorted to using an old camping tin mug. The low wattage kettle is a slow boiler but even more so because I had forgotten to switch the electrics on.  Eventually it all came together and with cold milk from my cold fridge I had my first cup of tea!  Being British I am now confident that I can deal with pretty much anything that is thrown at me (unless I run out of tea bags)
