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 :-)
