I love the ritual of making anything from tea and coffee up - taking a bit of time and something nice to drink out of is essential to the process (or so I think).

I do buy things (books mostly) from Amazon, but far to prefer to pick up things as I find them - there's something about the moment of discovery when you're offline that's hard to beat. Also it keeps my spending under control!

It's an explosion at the moment with people doing all sorts of things and probably will be a while before it settles down. I don't think anybody would have predicted this a decade ago, but it's fun to explore. It sounds like you have the same thing happening !<br /><br />Jam jars are great for all sorts of things, but not for drinking proper drinks out of. They do them no favours!

I've never 'met' this gin and it is making me realise how impoverished are my gin-buying options over here, despite a big upsurge in gin culture and local gin making. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.com
