I’m not someone who is mega organised at all but I do like to feel that by the end of November I am well on my way with the Christmas Shopping. I think the weather this weekend has really made everything feel more like Christmas so I decided to first start checking out  some of my favourite sites to give me some ideas for some ‘original’ Christmas gifts. It wasn’t long after browsing Amazon that I came across The Great British Bake Off 2015 Book  – with the hardcover selling for only £7.99 I soon purchased a few to pop under…
‘Teas Benefits’ – what a brilliant name !!!! posted this on twitter a few minutes ago and I just had to share it – Tea is not a drink, it is meditation; it is prayer. Listen to the kettle creating a melody. Become more silent and more alert…..
We revamped our kitchen and the accent colour is pale green so I am always on the look out for something green to add to my accessories. I spotted this lovely one on Ebay… But then with sooooooooo many to choose from I also came across this beautiful blue and white set and I have blue and white pottery on the top of my units. It’s another one from Ebay… Another quirky set I found which I am sure would look perfect at Chevin Green Farm B & B where they have such a fantastic collection of anything to do…
 ‘Afternoon Tea at the Sunflower Care’,  is a book written by Milly Johnson, and just like anything else ‘Afternoon Tea’ related I could not resist reading it. It did not disappoint me – the book is a brilliant read. Basically its about a girl called Connie who was pretty devoted to her husband Jimmy whom she thought was also devoted to her. But then she discovers that he’s been having affairs for the past twenty-four years, and that the chocolates she believed he bought her as a sign of love were in actual fact just a cover up so she…
We arrived at Chevin Green Farm for our overnight stay at this beautiful B & B nestled in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. It was a whistle stop stay for a wedding reception nearby but we soon wished we had booked for longer to enjoy this boutique style B & B. The first thing you spot in the reception is the lamp made from tea cups and the ceiling light from a tea-pot. Everything is about tea for two and two for tea. We go to our room and spot some lovely prints on the wall with Tea for Two and…

The Ollerton Watermill Tea Shop on Market Place, Ollerton, Nr Newark, Nottinghamshire is not far from me on the edge of Sherwood Forest and is the only water-powered mill working in Nottinghamshire. The afternoon tea is very well known and absolutely deeeelicious. Its by the River Maun and was built in 1713 on the site of a mill mentioned in the Domesday Book. It was put back to work in 1921 with the Mettam family, who have been millers for many generations with a family that is traced back to 1635. It was restored in 1993 and opened to the…

If you didn’t realise that it’s Black Friday tomorrow then I’m sure you won’t be reading this but after taking a quick look at some offers happening tomorrow I thought the Sage Heston Blumenthal Tea Maker was worth a mention. It’s being slashed by £100 from £199.99 to £99.99 at Amazon. According to the bumf on this kettle, it will revolutinise the way you drink tea. To extract the most delicate flavours, different teas need to be steeped at different temperatures and for different times. A motorised basket automatically lowers tea leaves into and out of the water at precisely…
