A perfect day…

Waking up in my favourite place in Cambridge cuddling Geoff.

Kippers and toast for breakfast.2374663724_f0c7fbb87a

Then off for a 21 mile walk in glorious sunshine.

Tea and cake at The Orchard in Grantchester.

Then a quick swim in the fast flowing River Cam,at the NRC.

Where the water temp was 8°C, believe me there is nothing more refreshing.

Home to make a nice dinner .

Then out to meet Tony for a couple of Gin and Tonic’s.

What more could a girl ask for…..

You are fired !!

Is what I would say to Ben Wilson who is a Scottish West Coast Grower of mussels.

He describes his mussels as being renowned for “their plump Juicy meats”Mussels

Well the bag of mussels I had purchased from my own fish counter at Tesco in Downham Market was far from being plump, in fact they were tiny.

I would have been embarrassed to serve them if I had cooked them for a dinner party.

I was so disappointed with them that I will be complaining to Tesco and hope to get a full refund.

Update… I got a full refund from Tesco today :-)  shame that I will not be happy to buy them again :-(

The Only Way…

To serve herbal tea is in a Bodum Tea press.219TV8RWCML._AA160_

The 0.5L size was just perfect and made a delicious pot of Piña Colada tea for two.

Piña Colada £1.69 per 100g
Apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peels, pineapple pie
Pinacoladaces, coconut raspings and flavour.
Can’t drink alcohol in the office? Here’s the non-alcoholic infused version of one of the best known cocktails around. Warning: might cause strong desires to dance the conga with your boss or supervisor…
Seriously popular.

First Class Tea.

I often enjoy a cup of herbal tea, and I usually just buy the herbal tea bags.blog 055

Caroline told me about a shop in Cambridge called First Class Teas and recommended that I try one of their herbal teas.

So before I came home Geoff and I went to have a look.

I could not resist trying their Piña Colada tea, not only did it look delicious but smelt fantastic too.

I was not disappointed it tastes divine far better than any other herbal tea I have ever had.

I think I will be paying them another visit soon :-)

No Easter Egg for me BUT…….

As I don’t eat much chocolate I didn’t expect an egg at Easter.

The joy for me was buying all my loved ones nice chocolate Eggs.

Imagine my surprise and delight when the Easter Bunny got me the most beautiful black/purple pearl necklace you have ever seen.

The perfect colour to go with the Pinks, Lilac’s,Greens and Purple’s I tend to wear.

It came from Peacock Pearls & Jewellery,was designed by Susanna Chung and they are genuine freshwater pearls….

blog 051

The lady told me not to be frightened to wear them,but I don’t think I will have a problem wearing them at all…….  I could be the only person, walking the West Highland Way wearing pearls  :-)
