OK, I wanna go to this.

It seems the only way I can go is to be the adult accompanying a child.

Anyone got a spare child to lend ? Thanks. I promise I'll keep at least half an eye on it.

A couple of years ago, I went to a "tutored tea-tasting" at the rather lovely Postcard Teas in London. Uncertain what to expect, I actually found myself sitting at a long wooden table, chatting and sipping a variety of green teas as the owner told tales of his tea-travels round the world. I enjoyed it immensely. I was just hunting around to find my write-up of it, but it appears that I mysteriously didn't do one.

Anyway, I recalled recently that I asked at the time how often these tastings were organised. The answer was really "as and when", and I got the impression that if I could round up half a dozen friends and find a mutually convenient day, there'd be one.

So... I was thinking that maybe I should try to round people up. I think that a couple of years ago it was about £10 per person, and kicked off around 6 in the vicinity of Oxford Street.

I make no guarantees about this, but if there's enough interest I'll communicate with Mr Tea and see what he says. Anyone fancy it ?

It's briefly worth noting if you checked "tea is horrible" that the owner of Postcard Teas does not, in the accepted sense, like tea. That is to say, he doesn't like the bog-standard tea-with-milk you get in the UK, but can get quite excited about his golden oolongs and so on.

Severeal weeks ago I took a Friday off work and bravely boarded a ferociously early train out of Kings Cross to go and visit Samantha. No, the trains aren't suddenly offering a trans-Atlantic service - she was temporarily in the country and staying at her parents' house about an hour out of Edinburgh.

By the time I arrived up there her parents had very sensibly fled to London, leaving us in sole possession of their lovely, large Georgian house for the weekend. And I have to say that we were extremely grown up about it all.

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older )
