TEA IN THE UK IN THE 1940’s….

In the 1940’s the United Kingdom was considered to have the highest tea consumption in the world.

The country’s love of tea is perhaps best represented by the tea card phenomenon which gripped the country during this period.

Tea cards were illustrated cards contained in packets of loose tea leaves. They were meant to be collected by children as their parents bought tea for household consumption, these cards are now collectors’ items, many of which have been illustrated by renowned artists.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.
