Reading
The coffee is rich, the sofa is comfy, and my blanket is warm. Letโs read. The solid weight of a thick book resting in my hand is a comforting presence. That unique book smell is faint as my eyes move over the inked letters on the pages. The pages themselves flip with ease allowing the… Continue reading Reading

Another coffee drinking location to mark as my favourite
At the end of February, to start my virtual coffee post I began describing where Iโm having my coffee or favourite places that I have had my coffee. So, today the soft cushions of the sofa await me. I plan to wedge myself into the corner comfortably with my legs pulled up. Over top of… Continue reading Another coffee drinking location to mark as my favourite

Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3๏ฟผ
The powerful smell of nutmeg is the star scent in my mug this morning. It is sweet and earthy smelling. There is no hint of sweetness in the sip instead it is both warm and earthy in flavour. Yet it is a spicy sip that if savoured can be described as a wash of fall… Continue reading Pie Flavoured Coffee Series: Coffee 3๏ฟผ

Choconut Coffee
My mug is full to the rim with a rich brown liquid. The steam rises in soft scented pillows. It is a vanilla, fruity, jasmine odour. There is nothing bitter in the smell. However, there is bitter chocolate notes in each sip that fades out into a deep creamy nut flavour of coconut. Can I… Continue reading Choconut Coffee

Weekend Coffee Share in September 2020
I bring the mug to a hover just under my nose and inhale deeply. The sweet rich aroma of maple syrup blends with an earthy smell to create a delicious coffee smell this morning, but how does it taste my brain asks me. I shift the mug to my lips and slowly allow that warm… Continue reading Weekend Coffee Share in September 2020

Into the pages
All my life Iโve escaped into books. The words on the page calling out with the promise of great adventures, mysteries, revealed secrets, heroes, villains and creatures beyond imagination. As I sink into the pages I travel through the world of creativeness into regions unknown. By Shari Marshall - 2019

Coffee boil and bubble
The cauldron is heating up over an open fire and the red orange flames are licking the cast iron sides. The glacier water, no longer glacier, starts to bubble making a nice rolling and bubbling sound. Into the cauldron an aged hand pours a small bowl of brown beans previously ground by a mortar and… Continue reading Coffee boil and bubble

Delicious Fall Coffees
The smell of baked apples, cinnamon and sweet sugar is heavy in the air. Warmth from the oven is comforting on this chilly fall morning. I canโt help but anticipate that hot hazelnut coffee this morning with a sprinkle of cinnamon in it. The hazelnut coffee on its own would pair nicely with the apple… Continue reading Delicious Fall Coffees
