One of the great things about a hot drink on a cold day is that warming feeling that races through your body from the heat in your hand and then from those first few sips. It doesn’t really matter what hot drink is in the mug because it has the same effect: hot chocolate, tea,… Continue reading Coffee Indoors

If we were having coffee I would introduce you to contrast…

Coffee, Cocoa & Melting Snowmen
That scent of coffee is mixed with a cocoa smell this morning. It is the perfect time of year to mix a little hot chocolate into the coffee. It isn’t anything to fancy; there is no whip cream or chocolate drizzle and there is no chocolate sprinkles either. It is just a nice simple flavour… Continue reading Coffee, Cocoa & Melting Snowmen

A warm soft breeze played gently at our clothing. The soft infused light under the grape vines was a sharp contrast to the brilliant sun that highlighted the numerous… Continue reading Coffee & Wine
If we were having coffee in July…
A sweet nutty scent drifts in the air. It takes a moment to lock onto the notes of mocha that travel with it. My choice of a mocha swirl coffee this morning was a good one.

Coffee & Inevitability
The hot liquid rolls through my mouth punctuating its presences with a sharp pungent taste that makes that first sip shocking. I’m not interesting in noticing any of the finer features in my mug today because I am feeling a little bitter this morning. One of my favourite coffee mugs has a rather long crack… Continue reading Coffee & Inevitability
