“Surely everyone is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a wintry fireside; candles at four o'clock,
warm hearthrugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed,
curtains flowing in ample draperies to the floor,
whilst the wind and rain are raging audibly without.”
Thomas de Quincey (1785 - 1859), Confessions of an English Opium Eater
E quest'oggi ho voluto prepararlo usando il bollitore che tengo sulla vecchia stufa a legna in ghisa che abbiamo in lavanderia - nella stagione fredda può essermi utile per asciugare i panni - accesa stamani per scaldare questa fredda giornata d'inverno.
“There are few hours in life more agreeable
than the hour dedicated to the ceremony
known as afternoon tea.”
― Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
"Sicuramente tutti sono consapevoli dei piaceri divini che sono coinvolti nel sedersi davanti un caminetto in inverno;
con le candele accese alle alle quattro del pomeriggio,
i parafiamma incandescenti, il tè ed una graziosa fanciulla che lo prepara, le persiane chiuse,
tende ampiamente drappeggiate che raggiungono il pavimento,
mentre il vento e la pioggia si odono infuriare fuori. "
Thomas de Quincey (1785 - 1859), Confessions of an English Opium Eater
Quale occasione migliore se non un romantico tè per due con cui festeggiare i nostri compleanni, separati da una sola settimana l'uno dall'altro, ed il giorno di San Valentino, per inaugurare il servizio vittoriano recato con tanto amore dall'Inghilterra da Susy, la dolcissima, amorevole amica che cura il blog SUSYCOTTAGE ?
Il camino del salone è acceso, Semplicità ed Amore sono nostri ospiti,
e ci sediamo intorno al fuoco, la cui luce da sola crea l'atmosfera giusta per ogni cosa od evento che comporti intimità familiare, seguendo il rituale descritto da Thomas de Quincey per gustare una tazza di tè caldo, la bevanda che come asseriva William Ewart Gladstone, Primo Ministro durante il Regno di sua Maestà la Regina Vittoria nominato per ben quattro volte per un totale di più di tredici anni di servizio:
“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.”
"Se avete freddo, il tè vi scalderà;
se siete troppo accaldati, vi rinfrescherà;
Se siete depressi, vi allieterà;
Se siete agitati, esso vi calmerà. "
E le candele ed i vecchi lumi a petrolio fanno il resto aggiungendo quel calore che arriva dritto al cuore.
Scoperto da fanciulla quando rappresentava una piacevole pausa ristoratrice durante i pomeriggi di studio, quello del tè è divenuto a pieno titolo un momento irrinunciabile per me, ritempra il mio animo, rasserena la mia mente, scalda il mio cuore ...
Scoperto da fanciulla quando rappresentava una piacevole pausa ristoratrice durante i pomeriggi di studio, quello del tè è divenuto a pieno titolo un momento irrinunciabile per me, ritempra il mio animo, rasserena la mia mente, scalda il mio cuore ...
E quest'oggi ho voluto prepararlo usando il bollitore che tengo sulla vecchia stufa a legna in ghisa che abbiamo in lavanderia - nella stagione fredda può essermi utile per asciugare i panni - accesa stamani per scaldare questa fredda giornata d'inverno.
Il servizio recatomi da Susy è completo di piattini da dolce e di piatto da torta, davvero una chicca d'altri tempi che solo il suo buon gusto poteva riuscire a trovare tra gli antiquari che periodicamente visita nella terra d'oltremanica dove si reca alla ricerca di rarità !

di quella dedicata alla cerimonia
conosciuta come il tè del pomeriggio. "
- Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady
Ah, dimenticavo, noi oggi abbiamo inaugurato anche le nostre vecchie poltrone, appena rimesse a nuovo (abbiamo finito di tappezzarle stamani mattina ! )
E concluso questo delizioso intervallo romantico, auguro a tutti coloro che lo festeggiano un dolcissimo San Valentino ...
... e a chi non lo festeggia giunga gradito il mio più sincero e forte abbraccio !
A presto 💕

Oh, and today we also inaugurated our old armchairs, just broughtto a new life (we finished to coat them this very morning !)

What better occasion than a romantic tea for two with which to celebrate our birthdays, separated one another by only one week, and our Valentine's Day, to inaugurate the Victorian service brought with much love from England by Susy, the sweet, loving friend who cares the blog SUSYCOTTAGE ?
- picture 2
The fireplace in the living room is lit, Simplicity and Love are our Guests,
- picture 3
and we are sitting around it, the light of which, alone, creates the right atmosphere for every thing or event that involves family intimacy, following the ritual described by Thomas de Quincey to enjoy a cup of hot tea, that drink which, as said William Ewart Gladstone, Prime Minister during the reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria nominated for four times for a total of more than thirteen years of service:
“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.”
Candles and oil lamps do the rest by adding that warmth that arrives straight to our heart.
Discovered when I was a girl as a nice refreshing break during the afternoons of study, the afternoon tea has become fully an essential moment for me, it restores my soul, calms my mind, and warms my heart ...
And today I wanted to prepare it using the kettle that I keep on the old wood-burning cast iron stove that we have in our scullery - during the cold season it can be useful for drying clothes - on this morning to warm this cold Winter day.

The set from Susy is complete with cake plates and a big cake-dish, truly a gem of ancient times that only her good taste could be able and find amongst the antiquarians whom she periodically visits in the land on the other hand of the Channel where she goes looking for rarity!

Oh che meraviglia l'atmosfera che hai creato e che riesci a trasmettere benissimo in questo post. Certo, il fuoco di un camino o di una vecchia stufa ha la parte del protagonista in questa magia,poi l'arredamento che hai scelto e il servizio di Susy fanno il resto.Sembra davvero di trovarsi in uno dei miei amati romanzi dell'Ottocento. Auguri per i vostri compleanni e per un delizioso S. Valentino.

Eliminal'atmosfera che comunicano i romanzi ambientati nell'ottocento è quella in cui più mi sento a mio agio, sento di appartenere a quell'epoca ... forse sono nata nel secolo sbagliato, ... forse, ma le tue parole con cui mi comunichi che quell'atmosfera vive nella mia dimora sono motivo di una tale contentezza per me, mia cara, carissima Giorgia !
Ti ringrazio infinitamente, è talmente bello trovare rispondenza in un animo gentile come il tuo !
Abbracciandoti con tanta gioia nel cuore

I love the photos of your husband smoking his pipe. My Carl also smokes a pipe occasionally, and I love the smell of the tobacco he uses. Everything looks so cozy and inviting here. Serene and peaceful.
RispondiElimina@ Cynthia
Eliminawhat a blessing to have you here this morning, darling friend !
I also love the smell of the tobacco for pipe, but I have to say that hubby doesn't like to smoke inside our home, he prefers to smoke outside, so it's quite rare to see him smoking in our living room, but this was such a special occasion, he sat for the first time on the armchairs we had just finished ツ !
Wishing you a lovely Valentine's Day,

Such a lovely post! Tea is one of my great pleasures - to share or to partake of alone. Lately I have been introducing my little granddaughter to the particular satisfaction of a good cup of tea and gentle conversation.

Eliminaactually I also couldn't live without my afternoon cup of tea, for sure, wherever I am, better if at home ツ !
Sending you my warmest and biggest hugh across the Ocean,
Dearest Friend of mine •♥•♥•♥•

Eliminayou're so heartily welcome, thank you for visiting, my new friend, and for enjoying, as well, it was my pleasure to link this post of mine with your so lovely party !
May you enjoy a beautiful and peaceful remainder of your week ✿⊱╮
Ooh how I would love to have afternoon tea in such an atmospheric room, very romantic.
RispondiEliminaI love making some special tea and cakes or scones for my husband. Findind a quiet spot and some pretty china make all the difference.
Have a wonderful week ahead dear Danni :)x

Eliminaprobably we should think much more about allowing ourselves such cosy moment and stop our times for a while, as once every people did, it would be so good for our spirit and our soul !
Wishing you a most pleasant weekend ahead,
sending blessings of joy to you, Dearie ღ*❀*ღ
We went out for a cream tea when we were in London -- it was wonderful. It would be amazing to enjoy afternoon tea every day.

Ciao Daniela!
RispondiEliminaChe magnifica e calda atmosfera! E' sempre un piacere passare da te, dolce e cortese rendi partecipe ognuno con gioia. Al rito del thé è impossibile rinunciare, specie in alcune occasioni. Le tazzine mi piacciono tanto, spesso vado a curiosare nei negozi di antiquariato, dove il tempo sembra infinito e ricco di cose preziose e rare bellezze. Poi, le tue poltrone sono elegantissime!
Ti auguro tante buone cose, un abbraccio grande e a presto.<3
@ Seddy
Eliminamia cara e dolce amica, che piacere averti qui !
Grazie per le bellissime parole che accarezzano il mio cuore ... anche tu avverti una diversa dimensione del tempo nei negozi di antiquariato, è una cosa che accade sempre anche a me .. poi quando esco e ritorno alla realtà mi accorgo che il tempo è trascorso, eccome, anzi più in fretta di quanto potessi pensare :)
Contraccambio il tuo abbraccio con il cuore augurandoti una lieta serata, grazie ancora per la visita, mi hai dato una grande gioia ❀≼♥≽❀
Oh, I know I am very late to the party, catching up and all. but what a delightful tea! And such a beautiful environment in which to enjoy a warming beverage in candlelight. I do love a nice cup of tea. But all the more special to share it with you as a birthday treat! How I wish I'd had my greetings straight off, but I always say birthday greetings are well received whenever they arrive! I hope it was simply lovely!
RispondiElimina@ Jeanie
