Passionfruit Tea and Easter Ice Bergs

It would appear that summer just doesn't want to let go this year

so I find myself still drinking summery teas 

I love this tea with its hit of passionfruit 

which is my favourite fruit and smell in the whole world

and this tea is heavily perfumed with it

not that it plays a big role in the taste

but the smell more than makes up for it

and the packaging is quite inviting to draw as well

which is just another reason to love it

So we spent last week on holiday 

and it was gloriously and unseasonably hot

mind you it was that mean sort of late summer heat

that fools you into thinking that it is warm enough

to maybe go for a swim

and the top layer of the pool actually feels refreshing and silky warm

but just under that layer

just as you commit to the plunge

you remember that the rest of the pool is hiding ice bergs

of titanic sinking proportions

and you spend the next two hours 

trying to get your teeth to stop chattering

and checking that your toes haven't fallen off

while glaring at the offending pool

and declaring that you won't fall 

for the Easter Swimming Trap ever ever again

Wishful thinking in my case because I seem to suffer 

from some rare form of seasonal amnesia

This is a shot from the offending pool

at the holiday house we just spent a week at

and it is a miracle that it isn't blurry because my hands

 were shaking like nobodies business

and even a cup of tea wasn't warming it up

in fact just holding the mug for about two minutes 

rendered it into instant iced tea

but I do love this view of the house

and I wanted to post a sky shot for 

Kimmie over at Art in Red Wagons

because she always posts these beautiful sky shots

with her tea posts on a Tuesday...xx
