Why tea parties are a favorite pass time activity for ladies

My grandmother and her friends are the kind of people whom you would term as lovers of tea. This is because they made it a habit that every week they met at least twice so that they can enjoy some freshly brewed afternoon tea and freshly home made scones that were hot from the oven. During this tea sessions they had, my grandmother or whoever was hosting the tea party would take out their vintage crockery, that were made of exclusive china and silver ware alike, and has very unique and beautiful designs and the colors of the vintage crockery would not necessarily match but still look really beautiful and elegant. In fact I used to call them elegant tea parties. Whilst drinking their, the beautiful wise ladies my grandmother included, would not necessarily gossip but they called it catching each other up about the happenings of the society, who did what, why they did what they did, and what happened to them after that and of-course my grandmother and her friends would not fail to give a personal opinion to the happenings.
