Always Time for Tea!
As April approaches things are getting very busy both at home on the farm and with my children who have some big exams coming up.
One of my favorite ways to relax is with a nice cup of tea. I'm also working on my next novel, which follows the story of Sebastian Black, who incidentally made his fortune on importing tea from China! I'm having so much fun researching how it was imported in the Regency Era - agencies in China traded smuggled opium from Calcutta for tea leaves in China. It makes my trip to the supermarket for a box of Barry's look very tame!
