With the convenience of tea bags thrown into a mug, the tea cosy lies idly in the cupboard somewhere with the cups and saucers and, of course, the teapot and not forgetting the loose tea leaves. I know I go through phases where the teapot and tea leaves come out. One of my teapots comes with its own chrome felt-lined tea 'helmet' as it doesn't look too cosy. It's perfect when people come over and I want to act 'grown up' or 'sophisticated' and if they are lucky they get a cup and saucer.

Is this a tea cosy?
Just mentioning tea cosies may bring back a flood of memories or for some a blank look as they have no idea what a tea cosy is. Either way, the
Fish Creek Tea Cosy Festivall is back on from 14 to 22 May 2022 in Fish Creek with a range of activities and of course, the celebrated tea cosy.

Growing up this tea cosy came out on special occassions
Learn to crochet. Devour a Devonshire Tea or two. Attend the vintage teapot exhibition. Tea Cosy Cabaret is on at the Fish Creek Hotel, so check the
program for tickets. David Lyons from the Australian Tea Cultural Society will help you navigate the art of drinking tea and when milk is put in. Plus, lots more tea activities for you to join in. Pour yourself a cuppa and find out what else is on by reading through the
festival program. If you have time, enter your own tea cosy in this year's competition or start on your 2023 entry.
