Charlotte Brunton: University Lifestyle June 2014 | Page 6

“A cup of tea, preferably earl grey in the afternoon, has become a ritual to me. Sitting
down, drinking when it’s far too hot - and realising it is far too hot to drink. Then leaving
it till it’s a bit too cold. It always eases a headache. It gives me energy. And a bit of warmth
in a cold student house. And the fact that I know whilst drinking it, across the country both
my mum and my sister will be sitting down and drinking a cup of earl grey too, gives
comfort that the ritual is continuing, even if we are apart.”
