It is the tradition in many workplaces for people to bring in cakes to share with colleagues when it is their birthday. The school where I do Supply Teaching is no different.
The one male teacher on the staff had a ‘significant’ birthday in the Christmas Holidays. Instead of bringing in cakes, we found a stack of boxes on the table in the staffroom.
A huge selection of Twinings Teas [tea blends, redbush, and herbal infusions] along with a card saying that he figured many of us would be attempting to lose weight after Christmas so wouldn’t want to be tempted by calorie-laden cakes.
We made ourselves cuppas, sampling the various blends. I thought it was a brilliant idea, and one worth sharing with you. I have now discovered that I quite like the Camomile, Honey and Vanilla blend.
Thanks Lee for sharing your birthday in a great, non-fattening way!
Here’s some more fabulous sand-art…
someone put the kettle on, please!
What a fantastic idea! It has all the 'what shall I choose?' elements of a box of chocs but none of the guilt..:) Jx
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful idea! As I continue to try to lose weight, one of the habits I want to get into is having a cup of tea when the urge to eat hits. Oftentimes I just want a little something nice, and tea hits the spot.
