Knitting my jellycat a junper

She's so cute! I love this colour so much. It just needs the collar and ribbing at the bottom, and it's done!

A cosy evening in.

"A candle, some tea, and a good book" season is in full motion. I think my blossom bunny needs her own jumper.

A cosy day inside.

The snow is getting heavier today. Although it never usually stays this long. it's beautiful and soft, but I know im dreading the rain that will wash it into slush, leaving paths dangerously icy.

I am enjoying the bliss of the freshness while it lasts, I may even make a soup later on to continue the warm feelings I have.

Bird & Blend

05/01/26

I've not tried brid & blend teas before now, but so far, I've sampled a gingerbread Chai, the snowball blend, and one of their ceremony grade matcha.

I'd say that snowball is my favourite flavour for its uniqueness and ability to taste of chocolate, not like the strange synthetic chocolate taste that flavoured teas usually have. Plus, the marshmallows are a fun addition. Will try more flavours and update.
