Yesterday was cold and damp...
So I did what I always do when I need to warm the body and spirit....
I made a hot cup of tea.
There's something about the ritual of boiling water and soaking tea leaves in it that I find comforting.
When I'm out in the bush I carry a small tin cup for my tea. I will often stop and make a fire for tea and then take a moment to sit with this warm drink and enjoy the day.
Similar traditions exist elsewhere too. In Australia they call this kind of
bush tea "Billy Tea" and
"Billy up the fire" means put on the kettle.
Coffee or tea, a warm drink is a wonderful tonic for the soul.
Cheers!
