I was all set to write a post on international relations this week, and then a discussion on ABC24 Breakfast TV caught my eye and ear.
I have not managed to find the original source, but apparently, some […]

Just some observations:
(1) You and I used to be known as the rudest, naughtiest tea bloggers. Look at our early posts. Comments like “I can’t believe you said that”. These days, there is so much spite with no […] -

This is my 320th blog post here on my main tea blog, and of those, 14 contain the word “cricket.”

It’s not everyday you turn 90. For most people, it only happens once.
It will happen twice this year for Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, or to provide her official titles, Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by […]

The alleged International Tea Day (Dec 15th) is actually tea Worker’s Day, it’s for thinking about the plight of underpaid and badly treated tea workers. I approve of that one. I disagree with tea companies who […]

2016 is a few years old, and I’ve written a blog post and read one of yours. I’m pretty sure the same was true in ’15, ’14 and ’13.
