Do you have a favourite mug?

These are mine

A large bird patterned one for my morning Lemon tea. A lovely earthen made mug with applique pottery sheep and fences for regular day time drinks. A shapely bone china mug with snowdrops on it, bought at a Snowdrop wood, snowdrops are special because my wedding bouquet was a posy of snowdrops, anyway, this one is for my afternoon tea. I am using it at this moment

A Cath Kidston mug with sheep on it for my morning coffee. The rest of the day I have a variety of fine china mugs to choose from. I don’t like drinking from thick mugs.

I have a Union Jack flag mug and a lovely one with a painted scene of a harbour in Cornwall, they really cheer me up.
I also have a lovely blue and white one with flowers on , but it’s square and it makes me dribble, so it’s got pens in it.

Over the years I have received mugs like at the Millennium which were too special to use generally more for display. In fact I have a Maxwell coffee mug from I believe the early 80s and Denby brand I think and again never used. My husband is a great one for buying tea or biscuits with a free mug included. The digestive biscuits ones are ok but the tea etc ones are rather basic and soon break. He, who is doing everything at the moment because I am incapacitated, said we needed some new mugs so all the special ones have been brought into use. No point at our age keeping things for best.

I use a green Barclaycard mug for breakfast coffee.
I use a smaller, pretty one that was my mother’s for a milky coffee mid morning.
I use one with ‘cocoa’ on it for my bedtime cocoa (no surprise there).
Hardly ever drink tea, but use another mug from Niagara Falls if I do fancy a cuppa.
