Tea, Tours and Escapades
For many people using a straw is a novelty. Something that livens up a drink in a pub, makes a cocktail more fun, allows you to drink a thick milkshake without getting a moustache. Anyone remember being a kid and purposefully trying to get a shake/Ribena moustache? No. Maybe that’s another thing from my weird… Continue reading The Last Straw?
Way back in August of 2017 I announced that I was going to start a # on Twitter, the # would be #WheelOfFact. Every Friday I would tweet a fact that was based on my blogging subjects. Many of these were disability related facts however I lightened it up a little by interspersing the gritty… Continue reading #WheelOfFact
I’ve very much enjoyed my first attempt at blogmas, my ‘Sporadic Blogmas’ this year. I know I haven’t posted everyday, but I did warn you that was never going to happen. I couldn’t keep up the momentum and I’d probably run out of interesting things to say. That’s if anything I say is ‘interesting’! It… Continue reading Best Nine of 2017
The big day is upon us. Very upon us. It’s the eve before Christmas. Everything is wrapped, the stockings are hung, the cheese is purchased. We will wake up, our stockings adorned with goodies. The main man has been. The turkey will be cooked, the treats consumed. Crackers will bang the celebration of giving. By… Continue reading Merry Christmas – Tea Revv Advent Finale
I was honoured enough to have received a Liebster nomination once. Let alone twice! This second nomination comes from the lovely Oriana at Oriana’s Notes. Oriana is always inspiring me with her makes and bakes. I advise you to go check them out for yourself! You might get some last minute Christmas ideas. I do… Continue reading Christmas Liebster 2017
So it’s time for the latest instalment from my Tea Revv 24 Advent calendar. This last few days has brought quite a good bunch. Mostly. Day 12 - Snowballs A decaffeinated Rooibos tea today, this time very festive as I can see snowflakes and silver sprinkles amongst the leaves. Pretty cute! I confess to getting… Continue reading Tea Revv Advent – Day 12-17
Don’t worry I’m not turning wannabe food and recipe blogger. I’m not apt enough for that, I prefer the eating of the food generally. I posted a photo on Instagram of this recent festive creation and got asked by a few people what the recipe was, so I thought perfect opportunity to share a little… Continue reading Shortbread Christmas Tree – How To
I don’t know about you but I find that often when you live in or near a place you can end up taking it for granted, you don’t really look at what’s around you, you don’t appreciate the facilities and attractions, you don’t visit the ‘tourist’ destinations. I’m way too guilty of this myself. Don’t… Continue reading Norwich Castle and I
Today (well a few days ago by the time you’re reading this) I had probably the nicest bus driver I’ve ever encountered. Odd way to start a post you might think, but for me finding nice customer service, or just meeting friendly people can make or break your day. There’s nothing more disheartening than getting… Continue reading A Jolly Good Day – On The Bus
I have to tell you about an amazing place I discovered in Oxford recently. I don’t know how I’ve not told you about it sooner really, but sometimes life stuff gets in the way. I’ve been a bit slack on the ol’ blog writing lately. I know I’ve had a few 'guests’ here and have… Continue reading Battle and a brew – Thirsty Meeples
