I’ll do a proper post later, but look what J and I picked out 2 weekends ago and picked up last night! We’re hoping to get married early next year – after 11 years it seems silly to wait for ages before getting married! I’m really, really happy, I love my ring, and I promise not to turn in to a Bridezilla!

Last weekend, J and I decided to escape the heat of the unseasonably hot weather with a trip to the air-conditioned Westfield centre down the road – neither of us particularly like high temperatures, and we were looking forward to a nice autumn when we got hit by temperatures of 29C :-/
We noticed there was a Twinings pop up shop and being tea drinkers, decided to have a look round. You could purchase individual sachets of tea which I thought was a brilliant idea – so often I wonder whether I’ll like a tea, but don’t want to buy a whole box, (turns out you can do this on the website as well, but postage will apply), and there were some limited edition teas as well – I bought the mulled wine, and want to go back and buy a box of the Royal Wedding one as well, it was gorgeous!
My heart was stolen by a tea set though. The cup’s on the side, in a badly cropped image off the website. It’s not available to buy from the website yet, but apparently should be soon. There was the cup and saucer, a tea pot and a teensy milk jug, and I fell head over heels in love with it. It’s very delicate china, and I’d love to sit in my armchair supping from from this set whilst knitting or reading a good book. I don’t generally go in for floral china, but I love the fairly abstract design on this – they’re quite clearly petals, but not in a chintzy way, and it’s all very clean and non-fussy as well.
I’ll update this post when it goes on the website, as believe me, I’m stalking the shop until it does!
