Whoosh!

And so, like a witch or wizard casting spells over a steaming cauldron, something magical was undoubtedly about to happen. Buttons were pressed, potions prepared and placed into suitable pottery vessels.

All was ready, there was a noise, at first a rumble, and then a rush and a whoosh!

Soon, all would be ready, this was the magic that all were waiting for this cold morning.

The room was filled with swirling steam, clouding the air and the windows, but it would not be ready until.....

....the kettle finished boiling.

Steaming water was poured into the teapot.

Tea was served.
