Today we said good bye and celebrated the long life of my dear Aunt Roberta, known to all as "Bertie".  As I washed these tea cups (hers) in advance of meeting with family and friends, I was struck by their beauty: some delicate, some whimsical, some intricate, others bold in design and in colour, but all made of strong bone china. Not a bad metaphor for the woman herself.  Each of these beauties would have been a special gift from a special friend.  A tea cup collection of a lifetime. I have a new respect and a bit of a fascination for the tea cup, I may need to build a shelf.
