*****Competition is now closed and the winner has been notified! ***** I can’t exist without a good old cup of tea first thing in the morning so when I was offered the opportunity to sample some teas from The London Tea Company I said yes! I tried Decaffeinated Breakfast tea, Rooibos, nutmeg & vanilla, and Peppermint, spearmint & strawberry. The packaging is lovely and the teas are refreshing and a little bit different from your normal tea bag.

We tried our hand on the new interactive experience inspired by the Pony Express, the code name given to a major exercise in which HMS Belfast played a leading role.

I thought I would participate in the Sew, Mama, Sew May Giveaway Day 2011. Up for grabs I have one metre of Royal Wedding fabric which I bought from my favourite department store, John Lewis.

I was going to make something commemorative for the Royal Wedding but never got round to it. Rather than leave it sitting in my fabric drawer I thought I would offer it to someone who might actually use it! It would make lovely summery bunting, a…
