AdvenTea: Introduction

A friend of mine gave me an advent calendar. Of tea! I am very much looking forward to this Advent experience! So, for her benefit, and mine, I will be relating my new tea experiences. I promise there will be photos! I'm not sure yet whether I will be posting daily, or grouping tea experiences, but I hope you will enjoy the vicarious experience, and perhaps be inspired to try some new tea experiences yourself!


So here they all are! Aren't they pretty little packages? I can't wait to see what is inside each one.

I plan to have my new tea in the afternoon or evening - when the house has settled down, and I can properly savour a special cup of tea.

So, this is a new Advent experience for me. Do you do anything for Advent? I'd love to hear your Advent experiences too!

Of popes and royals: Matthias I Corvinus became king of Hungary. George of Podebrady became king of Bohemia. Pope Pius II became the 210th pope! After the death of Pope Callixtus III. Of significant (or interesting) deaths: Alfonso V, king of Aragon (June 27). Succeeded by his brother, John II (Juan II - why are some names of foreign monarchs anglicised unnecessarily?) Lazar Brankovic, Despot of Serbia (February 20). (Interesting title!) Íñigo López de Mendoza, marqu és de Santillana, a Spanish poet (March 25). Arthur III, Duke of Brittany (December 26). Isabelle Rom ée, mother of Joan of Arc. She had succeeded in having her daughter'

¡Saludos de España! Greetings from Spain!

A lot has happened in the months since I last wrote in this blog, and the end result has been my arrival in Spain for March to May this year. Some of the questions I have been asked a lot in the last week in Spain, as well as in previous months, is why Spain? Why did I decide to learn Spanish to begin with? So I thought I´d share the answers here with all of you, as I´m sure some of you are wondering the same thing.
