Brown Betty Teapots

My Brown Betty Teapots are made by The London Teapot Company.

They are Chatsford, a design that has a removeable mesh strainer

which makes the preparation of loose leaf tea simple and convenient. 

It is great for clean-up, too.

I purchased the 2-cup and 4-cup teapots at a tearoom in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, England

The shop is across the main street from the Tewkesbury Abbey.

I was going to purchase white teapots, but the lady working there suggested brown

because the tea stains would not be so noticeable. 

Austin was either 3 or 4 years old, depending on which trip it was.

I will never forget because the English gentleman serving us our tea did not 

reply when Austin said "thank you." 

Austin informed him that he was supposed to say "you're welcome."

I thought I was going to fall through the floor! LOL
