View from above of a wooden coffee table. On the table are: a wooden cutting board with a floral china sugar bowl and matching milk jug, small bowls of whipped cream and jam, and a dirtied butter knife; a red teapot on a square cork trivet; two side plates with crumbs and jam smears, one of which has a knife and teaspoon laid across it diagonally and the other of which has a teaspoon laid perpendicular to the table edge; a maroon-coloured glazed terracotta pie dish with six wedge-shaped orange-date scones; and two hand-thrown mugs, one with a turquoise-glazed interior and one with a midnight blue-glazed interior.
I had an actual friend over for actual tea in my actual house today, and it did me a world of good.
