I have quite a yen for it actually but then I am a tea addict in all shapes and forms.<br /><br />Kate, I'm always thrilled to hear some of your history snippets - thank you!<br /><br />Leah Marie, I'm so pleased you enjoy the blog!

Envious. (We got 30 degrees and sticky, sticky, STICKY heat.)<br /><br />Re ice houses - ha, you knew I was going to come up with something from Norfolk ;o) There was a huge one in Great Yarmouth with a capacity of 42,588 cubic feet - built in 1840, used for storing ice from South Walsham Broad and then later from Norway. The last recorded wherry load of ice was brought there between 1898 and 1899 - and it's thought to be the only one of its type left in the country. (Was restored in 1980.)<br /><br />I remember that scene in Wayward Widow and loved it!Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-13934854028970978072010-07-03T09:11:09.822+01:002010-07-03T09:11:09.822+01:00Nicola, a fascinating blog.

I didn't really know what ice houses were, although I had heard the term.<br /><br />Will pass on the iced tea - ugh - <br />they were all drinking it in Florida and I tasted by daughter in law's, ugh, I thought I was going to hurl. Now iced coffee...or better still coffee icecream, now we're talking.<br /><br />Fabulous blog.margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7974614945447984069.post-68201440351709470392010-07-02T08:24:01.301+01:002010-07-02T08:24:01.301+01:00Well that didn't happen!
