So my Granny did.  I can remember her, on a hot summers day sitting in
the shade of her veranda, with her samovar gently steaming away   and
drinking her tea through a sugar cube held between her few remaining
teeth.  Though we were in London it was nostalgia for her.

It is a shame that the samovar was disposed of when she moved North to
that there Manchester. It was a proper old fashioned samovar that burned
charcoal.

This is a painting that reminds me of Granny:

Except she had a dachshund rather than a cat.
