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!

The two women knew each other by sight, and spoke briefly once or twice a week when putting their bins out or bringing them back in. One day the first woman knocked on the second woman's front door.

Spanish

As many of you know, I am a little bit obsessed with Spain and all things Spanish. This weekend I spent many hours wading through a sociolinguistic journal article about the dictionary of Mexican Spanish. Written in Spanish. I haven't read much in Spanish for a few years now. Reading in Spanish is hard! But fascinating. And at least it is for an essay I'm writing. But it made me reflect once more on why I like languages, why I like learning languages, and why I hope to learn and use a few more yet in my lifetime. So I thought I'd share some of these thoughts with you all.
