There’s nothing quite as lovely as afternoon tea for a long overdue catch up with a friend, is there? Nobody – I mean NOBODY – loves afternoon tea as much as my lovely friend and colleague Gemma, and we were LONG overdue a catch up. Following a long meeting about marking (as exciting as it…
Dragonfly Tea
It’s no secret that I am a tea addict. I’ve recently started experimenting with coffee, but tea will always have the number one spot in my heart. I was over the moon when Dragonfly Tea offered to send me a selection of their teas to review, as was Dan, who is equally addicted to tea! I…

Last night/early this morning, we received some of the snow that is causing havoc elsewhere in…
