WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND

Happy Christmas Eve all.

I am not going to lie, I have struggled this year to get in into the Christmassy mood. I haven't even managed to top my 14 Christmas movie PB this year either. What is all that about?

TEA OF THE WEEK - CHRISTMAS TEA

What better way to spend Christmas Eve than snuggling up with my pug dog, a terrible Christmas film which has been my guilty pleasure all season and sipping on our tea of the week. Christmas Tea.

Packed full of spices this really is the ultimate winter warmer.

CARAVAN KINGS CROSS

When I think about the word Caravan it just reminds me of piling my Mum's little Red Micra sky high and driving down Scarborough way to the Blue Dolphin for a week of absolute Haven fun with my Mam, Nan and Aunt Hilda. 

I blooming loved heading off to the middle of nowhere and camping out in a little caravan. Cutting out and saving up tokens from The Sun newspaper so that we could have the holiday of lifetime. Which it was by the way!! Who needs Barbados when you have Bridlington right round the corner?

Well, this Caravan is a world way from those Dino Bikes I used to whizz around the campsite on. It is a million miles away from mini me flaying myself down some crazy slides and singing along to some Abba tribute band in the concert hall.

GIVE VEGAN A GO

Friday is my most favourite day of the week.

Not only because it is technically the weekend (for us tea ladies the weekends don't really count as that is when we are at our busiest). It is my favourite day of the week because it is Vegan Friday down at Tea House HQ.

TEA LADY WEARS - BRUNCH WITH A LASSIE

I go to bed one day and wake up the next getting ready to be on TV. This year has been a real crazy one.

I actually feel like the luckiest girl on the planet right now. I am being whirled around in a Sunday Brunch storm and I am loving it.

This really is what Tea Lady's dreams are made of. I can't believe this has even happened once, never mind twice! 

Hold on to your brew's Tea Bee's you are in for a real treat this December.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE, OH CHRISTMAS TREE

I love going Christmas Tree shopping.

CANTEEN & COCKTAILS NEWCASTLE LAUNCH NIGHT

I feel like I haven't dined out for ages. I am not to sure what has been going on but time has really ran away with itself recently.

Saying that, I think I have exhausted all my local haunts and I am hanging off the edge of my seat waiting for somewhere new to open. 

I was in luck. I jumped into the Tea-Mobile and off I popped to Newcastle, fleeing the Teesside nest to attend the brand spanking new Canteen & Cocktails Launch Night. 

TRANQUILITY ME

It's not very often I get chance to take a little time to myself.

Now don't go all boohoo on me. It's my own fault. I am one of those people who if they aren't doing something feels guilty so will search for work to be done. If I am not whipping up cakes or brewing up pots of tea I am sat here typing away listening to O-Town and editing my blog.
