Teasday Guest Post from Pippa - Starbucks...
So, I am back to complete my second review of the latter part of the Refreshers range at Starbucks! Having an extra 15 minutes before work, I grabbed one of these to-go one morning. It was a hot day, so I thought I’d go for a lovely alternative to coffee. I was expecting a refreshing, citrusy lime drink to start my morning, with green coffee to give a small caffeine boost. Expectations were...

The Olympics (Warning: Rare negative post!)
I am a Londoner & I am not enjoying the Olympics in the slightest! My issues with it are as follows: We do not have an Olympic Park where all the events can be held in one place so all of London has to be thrown into upheaval whilst hundreds of thousands of visitors struggle to negotiate our antique public transport system. Millions of pounds have been pumped into this temporary event that...

Cup of Brown Joy - Conversation in Bubbleology Tea...
Bubbleologist: Assam
*Pippa turns to Geri*
Pippa: You know whenever she shouts that I instinctively want to call out "Lovely" & it's all your fault!
Geri: It's not me it's all the good Professor's doing.
Pippa: Well as you delivered the music of the Prof to me I say it's down to you.
Bubbleologist: Assam
*both ladies dissolve into giggles*

Some things about London & the UK...
…that you may not know. 1) The flag above is actually called the Union Flag. The now commonplace nickname ‘Union Jack’ was originally only permitted when the flag was flown at sea. 2) The building above is Westminster Clock Tower. Many visitors & residents call it ‘Big Ben’ without realising that this is the nickname for one of the bells inside the tower...

Teasday is, I am afraid, postponed this week as I cannot taste much due to my cold. I would rather not do any tea the disservice of a lacklustre review whilst I am unable to discern the more delicate notes of it’s flavour. I do hope you will agree with my decision.

Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour - Part One
Here are the first batch of photos from the Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour. I am not going to post every single exhibit as that would be a huge spoiler so instead here are a selection of my favourite images. The Entrance Tris & I were rather excited as it’s all very sleek & polished looking with prints from the films up on the walls. As you queue in the entrance area...

Teasday - Lushfest Edition!
Whilst at Lushfest I found a brilliant little van called “Tea N Toast” who serve strangely enough Tea & Toast! The van is a pretty little french one named Cowslip & their fare is organic fairtrade & homemade.  A lovely lady called Lou made me a cup of Eleven ‘O’ Clock Rooibos that tasted very clean & refreshing with a tasty apricot note to the finish.

WiFi Issues
I’ve had a number of queries about when my photos from various events will be posted. As I am travelling for work at the moment I do not have access to a reliable Internet connection. Whilst I can upload one or two pictures, a text post or a short vlog I cannot upload multiple photographs. I am returning home for a flying visit this weekend before I travel on to Poole for Lushfest. I...
