Ooooh sounds nice!Even though I do exist largely on black coffee and strong tea (with a nightly herbal), my winter drinks are likely to be
Hot Elderberry & Thyme cordial.
Elderberry cordial, hot water, a sprig of thyme and some honey.
Real Ginger, Citrus and Honey tea.
Fresh ginger, cut into coins and bashed with the base of the saucepan, slices of any citrus fruit at hand (usually lemon, lime and grapefruit, but bergamot has made it in there, as would Kumquats if they were reduced to clear in Waitrose), extra juice (lemon, lime or mango if a sore throat), then heated up with water to almost boiling and strained into a clear glass cup (59p from the Turkish shop) with a tiny bit of honey, a fresh slice of ginger and a half slice of citrus again. The remainder gets left on the hob with a lid on and added to throughout the day.
Hot milk with fresh grated nutmeg.
All of those sound lovely. Where do you get the elderberry cordial from?Even though I do exist largely on black coffee and strong tea (with a nightly herbal), my winter drinks are likely to be

There was a programme on tonight that featured Ely Cathedral. Mr D worked at a big gig there a couple of years ago - he said that he and the engineer wandered off at one point before doors, saw a sculpture of an eel in a park and they, naturally, sung the Eels song all the way through.We tried to get the kids into it but it went right over their heads. The eels song was my favourite bit. As well as all my other crushes I also love Noel Fielding, he’s so warm and kind and tall
Varies - sometimes I've made it myself, sometimes it's on sale in random shops around here and, when neither have happened, I get the Pukka Herbs one that's supposed to be a medicine and use that - that's very herbally and is the most like the potion Mr D's Granddad used to make for when they came home off the moors.All of those sound lovely. Where do you get the elderberry cordial from?
fancy!Re teas... I'm a huge tea fan and have a monthly subscription to a small company that own a shop in Brighton (Bird and Blend if anyone wants to take a look). I get sent all sorts of weird and wonderful blends each month.
If I have normal black tea I like it to be quite strong. I quite like Clipper, and drink their sleep blend at night too
I LOVE Bird and Blend. Have spent in the region of £8b in there since I discovered it.Re teas...

Ah I never knew it under that name! They have soooo many teas!I LOVE Bird and Blend. Have spent in the region of £8b in there since I discovered it.
And I preferred it when they were Bluebird
EELS! up inside yaaaa!We tried to get the kids into it but it went right over their heads. The eels song was my favourite bit. As well as all my other crushes I also love Noel Fielding, he’s so warm and kind and tall
Love a chamomile or a peppermint tea!I’m an Earl Grey drinker (fancy!) But will drink Barry’s red when out in town, or visiting friends. I also like herbal teas and usually have a cup of Pukka Relax before bedtime. It really helps to send me off to sleep.
I have once again forgotten to order mealworms, thanks fraus! THE REPROACH on the face of my robin when they saw I'd put stopgap seed out the other dayWhat a beautiful dog!! Love dogs with smiley faces and kind eyes.
Yes of course you can be my best friend and come and see the tame robinsThere are loads of robins where we are now but I can’t allow myself to get too close and personal this time as we have a cat (he’s pudgy and has no teeth, but still a cat). I still feed them, but not from the kitchen or my hand this time
To bring this thread back to food and dick, I am still laughing at coke can referenceand Harry shagging the dad who looks like Keir
Are they friends?
Haha, I am edging towards being a two-legged pig with mealworms #lockdownlard
Love The Mighty Boosh. Was going to say, my not-so-secret crush is Noel Fielding.Also The IT Crowd and one of my favourite tv shows The Mighty Boosh.
