  • Blooming Tea

    After looking around the internet for any ideas on what tea to try I stumbled across Blooming Tea. I am amazed at how they are put together and how pretty they are when they unfold. I have no idea what they will taste like, but I'm sure once I find some to try I will find out.

  • Jasper Fforde - The Thursday Next Series

    Back in October I wrote about the need for a new book to read and after everyone's suggestions I had a friend suggest the Thursday Next series by Jasper Ffforde to me. I was told it was this surreal story set in the 80's where people can time travel and shift in and out of books. 

    It is such a good series that is still being written by the author Jasper Fforde. Terry Pratchett described him as 'Ingenious'. For the last few months I have been addicted and obsessed with Thursday Next, the main character, and her escapades in the Book World with the Cheshire Cat, Miss Haversham and many others. 
    Fforde has so far had five published books in the Thursday series:
    • The Eyre Affair (2001)
    • Lost in a Good Book (2002)
    • The Well of Lost Plots (2003)
    • Something Rotten (2004)
    • First Among Sequels (2007)
    His next publication 'Shades of Grey' is due out in 2010 and I cannot wait. I am 100 pages from finishing "First Among Sequels' and I cannot get enough of the book!

    Whilst at Lonsdale Quay Market we stumbled across a shop called Blue Teapot. Outside the shop there was a little display of tea pots for $3.99, BARGAIN! I immediately picked one up, went in to pay and picked up some Japanese Treasures Green Tea after smelling EVERY kind of tea! My teapot makes about two cups, so perfect if Andy wants a cup (which he quite often does).
     
    When I got back I made my first brew in my new pot. It was so fruity and refreshing! I was told that it has a mix of Sencha, Bancha, Genmaiden, Kukicha and Gyokuro with St
