Tea and Team Spirit
People get excited about things, passionate. Thanks goodness. Otherwise we might as well be comatose. It’s just good to hold that excitement, that passion, a bit in check and not go overboard.

Tea in Brussels – A.M. Sweet Confiserie Tea-Room

Tea in Brussels – The Pepper Mint Tea Room
Whilst in Brussels, I managed to find time to stop by the delightfully named Pepper Mint Tea Room.
