T for Tuesday

Hello everyone, it's Tuesday again, and we're in November already! Hasn't this year just flown by?! And even faster than usual in my opinion, but, hey-ho, that's life in the fast lane, hehe.

Now, as it is Tuesday, it's time to share a cuppa with the gang over at Elizabeth's.

I went  out to meet a friend last Thursday, but unfortunately something cropped up at the last minute and she couldn't make it; so there was I, 'Billy no Mates', wondering whether to just go home or go into the cafe on my own. 

The call for caffeine grew, so in I went and got a nice seat by the window.

I enjoyed a lovely cappuccino and a fresh scone with butter and raspberry jam as I watched folks pass by outside.

Wishing you all a Happy T Day, whatever your favourite tipple may be.

Take Care

Be Happy

Café Olé or Café au lait?

Hello Everyone!

The other night my husband went to see his sister, (his Friday night ritual), and came home with a coffee maker. She was replacing it with a new one, even though this one is still in excellent and working condition;

but not being one for looking a gift horse in the mouth, I was excited to try it.

Now isn't that pretty :D And if you'd like to pop round I will be happy to make one for you too. 

I'm delighted to be sharing this with the lovely ladies over at Elizabeth's for Tea on Tuesday. 

Even though I haven't participated for a few weeks I have popped in and out when I could. 

Now craft wise, I have been having some more fun being, 'inspired by'......

Number 7

Mondrian meets Modigliani.

Inspired by Kandinsky.

Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch.

Many thanks for your visit, I truly appreciate it.

Until next time, do take care,

and be happy.

T Stands for...........

................more cake and a lovely cup of coffee.

Hello there, I am very happy to be able to join in with T Stands for Tea on Tuesday with Elizabeth and the rest of the T gang this week, And as the title suggests I have been indulging in more cake eating - well I did admit that I find it hard to resist and it has been two weeks since my last slice. Gosh I sound like I'm in a confessional don't I, hehehe ;) 

Anyway, to get back on track - I got to borrow my friends car whilst she was away on a course, so I took my son out to a lovely place a few miles out of town called Logie Steading. I chose this place because not only do they have an amazing second-hand bookshop, a gallery, a whisky shop and a garden shop, to name but a few, they also have a wonderful Cafe. 

The Whisky shop exterior.

A new shop opened just a few weeks ago called Cairngorm Leaf and Bean. This shop sells loose and bagged teas, hot chocolate and fresh coffee beans too. They sell paraphernalia for tea and coffee drinkers and the aroma as you walk in is just delightful!

We browsed and sniffed and went to the cafe, (The Olive Tree Cafe), where we went upstairs and sat in comfort to enjoy our refreshments and discuss our choices.

Freshly brewed coffee and coffee cake.

My blog header is a photo I took of this wall decoration in the Olive Tree Cafe, I was delighted to see it and couldn't resist getting a snap of it.

After looking around the book shop, we went back to make our purchases.

One of my buys was the most flavourful peppermint tea I have ever had. I chose to get the ready bagged version which are pyramid shaped in some amazing gossamer light substance I've not seen before. i could drink this all day, hehe.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the other tea peeps are sharing this week.

I shan't be able to join in next week as I will be away on holiday with wee Man. So until we meet again, take care and thanks for popping in.
