As Martha Stewart would say, these are “good things”. First week of a new semester and my mind is reeling from the sheer number of essays due in March. My gawd!
So I did what most people would do – look for a means of an escape! And escapism for me came in the form of urgently craving a hot delicious cup of earl grey tea. I usually prefer breakfast teas, but after back-to-back lectures today, all I could think of was earl grey tea. Ahh. How nice it would be to have some in this cold (well, ok, 13 degrees for winter is laughably warm) wintry weather!
I couldn’t just drink any tea, surely!? So off I went to Fortnum & Masons (cursing under my breath as its neither near where I stay nor school) to get that caddy of earl grey. While in the store, I was also reminded that they have a lovely selection of biscuits – which took me the better half of an evening to browse – before I finally selected two tins to try. The jubilee pistachio and clotted cream biscuits and golden crunch Picadilly biscuits. Oh I hope they turn out nice! Tea and biscuits! I hope they will cure me of essay headaches!
