Description:

In our favourite Era the start of the day for ladies was often spent making morning calls, or alternatively, when friends were received. The purpose of an "at home" was for ladies to spend a little time visiting with friends and neighbours to chat for a bit and keep up to date. Usually these visits were no more than fifteen minutes and several friends were visited in the space of a morning. When a lady wasn't out and about making her calls she hosted an at home and received her friends to chat over a cup of tea.

For our swap, you will "visit" via the post. Send a short chatty letter and a teabag to simulate a morning call. Although it was customary to speak of the weather and the condition of the roads, try to make your letter interesting and more of a glimpse into your world. Your letter should be something you would enjoy reading. Please be mindful of your partner's preferences for tea and also allergies. This is meant to be a lighthearted chat so that we can get to know one another better.
