Wünsche noch ein schönes Wochenende,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Günter. Maybe tea cosies are coming back into fashion. I would love one like this ;-)) The mallards didn't appreciate having their photo taken!

Best wishes and a good weekend, Rosa.

Never seen before something like this.
Well spotted and captured Rosa.

If I could have one like this, I would use it Jaap ;-))

Cozy and very pleasant image, Rosalyne!
Ducks have feathers to protect themselves!

Thank you for your kind comment Judite.
Have a nice evening.

(((•‿•)))

Thank you Udo ;-))

Adorable théière ! :-))
Bon weekend. Amitiés

Thank you very much Madeleine ;-))
Good evening.
Regards.

ah oui l'heure du thé est très importante chez vous je me souviens d'un séjour que j'ai beaucoup apprécié moi je bois du thé toute la journée mais jamais le même suivant l'heure

I had two aunties that would always have a teapot hot and ready all day long ;-))

Nice:)

Thank you Annemarie. ;-))

Love this tea-cosy

I would like to have one the same Isabel ;-))

A bad hair day for the tea cosy but a lovely capture, Rosa
Funny how ducks are shy unless you have food ;-))
Two beautiful images from Mere

Ha ha, but she still has a smile Roger ;-)
I felt bad about disturbing these boys.
There were quite happy until I arrived!!

I can't remember the last time I saw a tea cosy............we've never used one but my Mum always did. This is a cute looking one as they go though. Nicely captured.

I've always remembered a quote by Billy Connolly who said: “Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on. ”

A great PiP............Mallards are always great fun and this is a super photo.

I. hope you have an enjoyable weekend Rosa.

It's all made in the cup with tea bags nowadays Keith. I do get the teapot out occasionally, and would love a cosy like this one ;-)

That's a great quote by Billy Connolly.....I have seen a few do just that ;-))

I only just managed to get a pic of the Mallards. They were off as soon as they saw me!
Obviously a bit camera shy!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend Keith. Lovely weather today.

How lovely !

Thank you Ulrich :-))

Remarquables et excellentes captures. La première est vraiment fascinante et impressionnante. Un couvercle surprenant par sa teneur. La deuxième capture est ravissante aussi et bien présentée.
Bonne et agréable fin de semaine salutaire.

Thank you for your very kind comment Malik.
Sunday greetings.

A nurse teapot cosy!!! The tea from this teapot can only do good!!!!
I remember when we had a holiday in England in 1998 (Henley in Arden), our three daughters (then aged 16,16 and 13) were in awe of the teapots and teapot covers with very, very varied designs! !!!!!!!
Good evening, Rosa******

Oh yes, the tea is good! Before tea bags, every household would be the proud owner of a tea cosy Nouchet ;-)) I have never been to Henley-in-Arden, but it looks nice. I must add it to my list! A good base to visit Stratford-upon-Avon.
Sunday greetings.

I see you have all your ducks in a row, Rosa, when it comes to photographing quaint wee tea cosies. I hope you are having a great weekend. Cheers, Joe

Ha ha, thank you Joe! A nice sunny Sunday down this way. I hope you are having a good weekend. Cheers, Rosa.

Oh c'est gentil comme tout et de bon goût sans nul doute comme le produit de la théière, j'aime bien un thé de temps en temps ! oui il semble y avoir peu d'eau alors chacun fait comme il peut lol !
Bonne soirée mon amie. Bisous.

Thank you dear Jocelyne :-)) I must get knitting and make one myself, lol.
THank you for your very kind comment. Sunday greetings.

Abriendo pareció una muñeca, pero sospecho que es una manta que se le pone a la tetera, para que en el jardín aguante más tiempo la temperatura del té. Los cuatro patos sí, son chicos tirando a ánades reales; si fueran silvestres hubieran volado. Buen domingo, Rosa

Before tea bags, when all tea was loose leaf, every house would have a tea cosy Jose Manuel ;-)) Maybe not quite like this one!! Yes they are Mallards and probably not so used to humans feeding them as some are.
Sunday greetings.

LOVE TH COSEY !

Thank you Pam. I should get knitting ;-))

I do like that apt expression "your ducks in a row" from Joe :-) Mallards are "wimps", as we know, but you've captured them well! And if they run away from the camera, it's just that they disdain fame ;-)
I didn't know about this English tradition of Tea Cosy, which seems outdated in the age of "connected objects" but perpetuates a conviviality that is unfortunately losing ground. So: thank you for this testimony, Rosa!

Thank you for your very kind comments Eric. Yes, it is a good expression! Most Mallards that I see are quite happy to stick around, in case there is food, but these soon shot off!
Sadly tea cosies are generally a thing of the past, but recently may daughter's partner asked me if I could make one! I don't think it will be a knitted one though ;-))

What a cute tea cosy.

Thank you Esther :-)

Oh c'est trop mimi mon amie Rosa **************************gros bisous et bonne soirée ♥

Thank you very much.......I couldn't resist taking a photo ;-)
Sunday greetings dear Angelique, and a good new week.
Kisses *****

It really is a cute looking tea cosy Rosa! Best wishes for the new week.

Thank you David.
Have a good new week.

The therapeutic power of tea. One comes to the conclusion that what is truly essential in ducks is to be able to get their feet wet.

Thank you for your very kind comment Anton :-))

A very lovely tea cosy! It must be a nice day in the cafe!
Have a nice mothers day!

Best greetings
Füsun

Thank you very much Fusun :-)

Best wishes & a good new week,
Rosa.

You're right, this is so cute :-) And guess what? A couple of years ago my friend in the UK (my very first pen-pal, we started corresponding in 1972 and we're still in touch...and visited each other a few times as well) sent me one that she had made. It's delightful :-)

That is lovely to have kept in touch for so long Edna. So you have visited her, has she visited you in Germany? My lovely nan (gran) knitted many, but these days, with tea bags, most people make it in the cup! I have two nice teapots that come out when I have visitors ;-)

Yes, it really is, Rosa. She knows most of my family and I know hers. They're all wonderful! I visited her three times (in 1976, 1990, and 2018) and she in 1976 and 1979. She's planning to visit me again in two years when I'm retired and I'll have more time. She had the chance of retiring a couple of years ago, lucky her!

Yes, I know, but I don't like tea bags. So people should knit or crochet cosies for tea bags then... ;-)))

That sounds great Edna. Roll on retirement....I can recommend it ;-))

I'm sure you can, Rosa! My dad could too ;-) And believe me, I won't be bored for one single minute when I'm retired, not me ;-))

I can tell ;-))
