A tradition that still remains in our daily life! A farmer's wife had many important tasks to undertake on the farm, but one that was welcomed by the farm workers was morning tea time ☕🍰. Tools down and off to the farmhouse kitchen for a hot cuppa and some home baked goodies to see them all through till lunch time! Who else can relate?
