Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide
A E Housman 1859 – 1936
Born a hundred and fifty years ago he may have been, but A E Housman’s verse about Spring and Easter still captures the cheerfulness of the first Spring blossom. Another simple pleasure, the taking of tea, is celebrated at the moment at The London Silver Vaults, the place to buy antique and modern silver. The tasty silver treats for sale in the Time for Tea exhibition, would look well on the Easter tea table - silver cake stands, toast racks, a silver hen keeping the boiled eggs warm and a single egg warmer, complete with spoon, inspired by Lord Argyll’s idea of insulating food containers with boiling water. Sets of butter knives and tea spoons and lots of beautiful tea sets. In fact Easter presents galore or maybe just an investment in a lovely piece of silver to keep as a nest egg. www.thesilvervaults.com
