Over the weekend I was having a cup of tea with some friends, and they were surprised to hear that I only started drinking tea at university.
I did my midwifery degree at the University of Central Lancashire. Up until this point I'd lived in Buckinghamshire, so moving to Preston was a bit of a shock to the system...
We spent a lot of our first year doing placements with community midwives. It was at this point that I discovered how truly devoted people from Lancashire are to drinking tea. After being asked: "Fancy a brew?" in every house we visited at least ten times every day, I realised I was going to have to start drinking tea if I was ever going to fit in!
I only discovered the Lancashire Hotpots today, thanks to my friend Sarah - this song is a homage to the tea drinkers of Lancashire...
