I think tea is the psychological glue that binds us together or keeps us going in all sorts of situations.
It's certainly a great companion on any day on the hill.
Thinking back to when my mum died. Her sister was on the way to the hospital but never got there in time. It was down to me to break the news to her. She was in shocked silence until a nurse brought in a pot of tea. Somehow that jogged her back to reality and we were able to talk about what happened.
I often see it at work when the crews have been to a bad job. Tea is always the first priority when they get back. It seems to start the process of getting things in perspective and back to something like normal.
As far as Yorkshire Tea goes, can't beat it when it's made with the right water. I'll be up in York on Saturday so will be looking for a cuppa and a nice fat rascal.
