Tea walk

I had seen other walks advertised on meetup.com, Ghost walks, Tour of London...etc etc.
I knew that if I was going to go on one it had to be for something I loved.
So when I saw the tea walk I thought...yes this is perfect.
Typically British my whole family drinks tea in bucket loads. Ever since I can remember the drinking of tea has been in my family.
I remember fasting in the morning before church when I was a kid and the breaking the fast with tea and fruits.
The walk started off badly because I forgot to print out the address and was early I got lost.
I walked around in a circle for a while, I thought I was never going to find this meeting point. Just when I had given up and decided to go home I saw Lera I reconsidered her from her picture.
We started with some tea tasting and ended with in a tea house in Liverpool street.
I actually never knew that theses places existed I thought it was just coffee.
I enjoyed the talking part of the walk more than the walking. I think it's ridiculous on my part that I'm a Londoner born and raised and I didn't know any of this.
All in all it was a brilliant day I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the past and comparing them to today. The weather wasn't too bad just a bit windy but, living in London you expect that.
The walk took about 4 hours but to be honest I didn't really notice that, I didn't check the time I was having too much of a great day.
I would definitely recommend anyone who loves tea and wants to revisit their passion for tea or even if you just want to learn more about London (tea wise).
Even through my family loves and drinks tea, I've never tried the ones we tried on this walk. I will definitely look into drinking look into drinking more of this type of tea.
I will be coming again maybe next time I'll bring my mum I think she'd really enjoy it.

Through the eyes of you're peers (Poem)

There's this girl in my class.
I don't know why I'm talking about her.
I just need to get it off my chest.
She never speaks
I mean as far as I know she's capable
Far as I know she's not restricted.
She's just lazy.
I think the only time I hear her speak is when our teacher takes the register.
Our teacher tells us the lesson and this girl still won't speak.
She doesn't understand any off it yet she'll just say nothing.
Our teacher has to psychically walk over and explain it to her.
Like I said, lazy
It's none of my business I know.
She's not even one of my friends.
I just find it frustrating.
If she just made an effort and stopped being so lazy her life would be so much better.

What took them so long

Went back to 'Loose women' today and all I can say is it's about time. Coleen Nolan as head chair, yes please more of that. In all the years I've watched this show I've always wondered why this hasn't happend before. I thought she did really well, even though she was really nervous inside it didn't show. she was her usual funny self and she didn't mess up once. I hope this isn't a one time thing.
I used to love 'Steps' so Clare Richards was a nice surprise. Jane was great as usual and Nadia was very funny

Getting back to things you love

Yesterday I went to watch 'Loose Women' at the London Studios in Waterloo. As usual I went back and forth about going. I woke up at 10am and got out my house at 10:30. The journey was going to take me about an hour. I could have taken another bus that would have taken me 30 minutes, but I decided to take the first bus no matter what if I'm late, I'm late.
I made it in the nick of time
The show was great and very funny.  The topics were interesting and the panel looked beautiful. I've actually been to watch shows in a studio (BBC studios, Fountain studios...etc etc) a few times, so many times I've lost count.
To be honest I haven't watched 'Loose Women' in a while, probably about the same time I went to a TV studio which was about 4 years ago.
The thing I love about watching shows at TV studios (apart from it being free) is it feels like the first time every single time I go. I still look at it with the same amazement I did the first time I came to a TV studios (which was 'Celebrities under pressure'). I laugh at the same jokes from the warm up guy, even though I've never seen this warm up guy before.

 Woke at II: II today from a dream about my future hubby. I think the message was about standing still, and not chasing what I want. Lettin...
