Welcome to my first 'time for tea', a monthly Meme from Abi over at Creating Paper Dreams. Such an English idea, grabbing a cuppa and sitting down for a good natter. I would seriously love to meet up with a blog friend or two in 'real' life and indulge myself in a chat and a mug of something refreshing, but for now, we will gather here.
The last time I met with some blog friends was in November and one of our favourite beverages was this....
Originally discovered (by me) at the Bloggers Weekend in November, thanks to Jacky. So will you join me in reminiscing about past retreats or perhaps in planning for the next one? I have another weekend to look forward to at Grafham in March and I am also hoping to be going again in November! Thanks to Sandie.
As we drink our mugs of tea (I have lots of different tea, don't worry if you don't fancy the Vanilla Earl Grey!) or a cup of coffee, I will offer you some of my homemade pineapple, carrot and cranberry muffins, still warm from the oven.
I am feeling happy to have you here and I have enjoyed myself, shame you have to go really. I hope we can get together again soon xxx
It has been lovely to pop in to such a warm welcome and such a scented and fruit-filled chat :). Hoping to be able to catch up later in the year too!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I are geographically quite close. I'd love to taste one of those muffins in real life
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look delicious. I was sorry to miss out on The Bloggers Weekend, it would have been wonderful to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my place today x
ReplyDeletethose muffins look yummy x
ReplyDeleteI'll take a muffin (or two) - yummy!
ReplyDeleteWant to swap your muffins for my peanut butter cookies?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the recipe: http://suburbansahm.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/peanut-butter-cookies.html. I found shortening quite tricky to get hold of; Ocado stocks it and, rather surprisingly, so does Amazon.
And here's a link to my recent PL post: http://suburbansahm.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/project-life.html
I'm sad I missed out on the bloggers weekend too. That tea looks awesome, I would love to have a try. Thank you for sharing with me today!
ReplyDeleteWas just talking to someone today about Earl Grey today, I'm a coffee drinker but will definitely have a muffin :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, I feel quite peckish after seeing those muffins! Very nice!
ReplyDeletethanks for the cuppa, so which retreats do you goto, I have not been to a retreat for a few years.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to try one of those delicious looking muffins and can I have 'plain' earl grey? It was nice to meet you here.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to meet you! I'll try the vanilla Earl Grey, please.( One of my friends here introduced me to "London Fog", which I think is Earl Grey with vanilla; sounds like Tetley might have made it easy to make one.) And definitely a muffin, Yum! I agree with you that it would be nice if we could get together in person, but this is fun, too.
ReplyDeleteSee you next month!
Well, you've certainly enticed us all back with lovely conversation and muffins that look so good I can almost smell them. I envy you all your get-togethers. Since I'm not on that side of the pond, I will look forward to seeing you back here again soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm lucky to have met up with you and consider you a real life friend not just a blogging friend :) and although I'm not a retreat type girly as you know, I wouldn't mind one of those muffins with a cup of that tea :)
