Mail from Sandy!!

We got a letter from Canada today!!!

Ooo, it's got a Christmassy sticker on it!!!

There's a card from Sandy Bear and Cocoa Beanie!!!  Hurrah!!!

There was another card in the envelope as well!

They wanted to know if we have any trips to London coming up.  Hmm.  Well we have about 12 different companies all striking every single day between now and the New Year - including the NHS nurses, ambulance drivers, Postal workers, train drivers AND bus drivers!!!  So it's highly questionable that we'll get to travel up to London this month!!!  We might try a National Express coach though, because Andrea has some time off work between Christmas and New Year.  

A Skookum advent calendar???  What's Skookum?!?!?!!?

Day Eight of the Advent Calendar

Today, we started with a Matcha green tea.  Never tried a Matcha before, kinda interesting.

Later on we had day eight of the Fortnums calendar.

Elderflower, strawberry and rose infusion, huh?

This one turned out to be very pleasant!!!

After that, I opened number eight on the chocolate calendar!!!

Hurrah!!!  That looks like a christmas pudding shape!!!

YUMMY!!!

Day Seven of the Advent Calendar

Today's first teabag was a Pukka lemon, ginger and manuka Honey tea.  That was really nice!!

Later on, we opened door seven on this calendar....

And we got an Apricot, honey and Lavender infusion tea!!!!

This one was really nice too!!

Then  I got to have my chocolate!!!

There it is!!!

YUMMM!!

We forgot about day six!!!

Yesterday's Pukka tea was a peppermint and licorice.  We didn't like that one.

So we opened day six of the other tea calendar.

This one's a Genmacha tea.

It's a green tea and we liked this one better.

Then I got my chocolate calendar!!!

Hurrah!!!

I love chocolate!!!

 

Day Five of the Advent Calendar

The Pukka tea calendar today gave us a three fennel tea.  That was pretty good.....

Later on, we opened up day five on the other tea calendar

OOOoooo!!! Earl Grey classic!!!

This one was YUMMMM!!!

After that I opened day five my my calendar, another gingerbread man picture!!

Goody good!!
