Coffee Queen

Coffee Queen!

Grab that cup,
Take a sup
You're here with the Caffeine Queen!

This is my first blog so, in the words of the Mighty Miranda, 'Bear with'!

I am struggling with the technology side of things but have oodles to share with you! This first attempt is purely to see whether I can actually post anything. But then it was ten years till I finally gave in to social media and now you can't get me off it!

I dedicate this and my future blogs to my lovely friend Vicky who has been telling me for the last two years to write a blog about my coffee adventures! Well, here goes!

First photo I found on my iPad was of the delicious Valerie patisserie cake. There's much more to come!

Live the Pooh way

Live the Pooh way I love this quote from AA Milne. Just to be sure someone is there. To be sure of them. We all need reassurance from time to time. Whether it is for practical reasons, like when I need someone to sit next to me on longer, motorway journeys to hello with the signs so I go North instead of South. That physical presence and reassurance means so much. A reassuring nod of the head and hug. The list goes on. Reassurance is also an emotional thing too. That feeling you can off load onto someone who gets you and has your back. They may only have to listen or say a few words but that bond speaks volumes. No one wants to hear the "I told you so" lecture. We have already berated ourselves enough as it is. Just sit with each other, listen and empathise where needed. Or bring them tea and honey until they feel right again! This quote is so true too. Those friends and family who stay when the chips are down, when it gets messy, when it's not about laughing but abou

Paddington Bear

 Paddington Bear I have just watched the Platinum Jubilee sketch with our beloved Queen having tea with Paddington Bear and I got all emotional again! It was one of the highlights of the Jubilee weekend, a surprise for everyone and heartwarmingly nostalgic. Lovely memories of this little bear with a blue duffle coat and a suitcase have come flooding back. I can hear the narrator's voice from the 80s even.  I really enjoyed the sketch with the Queen smiling and getting her marmalade sandwiches out of her bag. If Pooh bear is jars of honey then Paddington is marmalade sandwiches! I mean, you never know when there will be such an emergency! I would have Marmite sandwiches though! This is such a lovely illustration too from pinterest. They both look so happy. Look at all those marmalade sandwiches he is stuffing into his suitcase! When we were growing up in the 70s and 80s, there were a few famous bears. Winnie the Pooh, Rupert and Paddington being three of the beloved bears we read ab

Slow down and soak it up!

 Slow down and soak it up!  I love this pinterest quote. It is something I have done myself over the last few years. I was working full time and bringing work home, cramming loads into my weekends and was rushing through life. I would not do this any differently because I feel I did fab things with my daughter and family and friends and made amazing memories. I am just ready, healthwise and emotionally, to slow down a bit more! I am so glad we fitted so many trips out, children's parties, workshops and visiting people. At times though, you are thinking about your next thing instead of fully enjoying what you are doing at that moment. I didn't really get a choice in the slowing down. My body kind of did an emergency stop. I left teaching and started a new journey. I struggled at first and tried to claw back my old life. I have got my head around it now and when I need to rest, I see it as something I am doing.  I used to be so busy. I was that hamster on the wheel, not getting a
