My little Secret Garden Tea Company teacup had been cooped up for a few days so I took it out for breakfast on board The Canadian.We were somewhere between Allanwater Bridge, Ontario, a station that exists only to serve a nearby wilderness lodge, and Collins, a First Nation community home to about 30 people on the journey to Toronto.
As I unwrapped it from the tissue paper and handed back the boring white cup already on the table, I shared its story with the crew. They thought it was gorgeous. "Now everyone will be asking for the nice china," one of the servers said.
I didn't hear anyone ask, but the other passengers who later shared my table gave it a glance before looking back at their normal cup.
It sure did brighten up the table. Wonder how long before cute cups become standard issue on Via Rail?
Love the fancy cup, Gay would be very impressed! Hope it survives all your travelling! Enjoy your cuppas.
