"Thank God for tea! What would the world do without tea? how did it exist? I am glad I was not born before tea." - Sydney Smith
A delightful stubbornness I am glad I was not born before tea. It’s not fair if our ancestors are the only ones that get to enjoy tea, let alone the best cup of tea in Britain. This is a story about the makers of tea that have been around since 1886. Having been around for some time, they’ve lived through thick and thin, but have never forgotten the lighter side of life. But most of all, they’ve continued to do what they’ve always done best with the same passion when they first started: sell the best quality tea. I call that more than 100 years of delightful stubbornness. This is a story about Yorkshire tea.

The flowers of Yorkshire are like the women of Yorkshire. Every stage of their growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious. Then very quickly they all go to seed. Which makes it ironic my favourite flower isn't even indigenous to the British Isles, let alone Yorkshire. I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower.For me, that's because of the reason behind its name.Not because it looks like the sunbut because it follows the sun.During the course of the day,the head tracks the journeyof the sun across the sky.A satellite dish for sunshine.Wherever light is, no matter how weak,these flowers will find it.And that's such an admirable thing.And such a lesson in life. - Calendar Girls
