Thursday Tea: Gaudy Night

Thursday Tea

The Book: I recently finished Busman’s Honeymoon by Dorothy Sayers and felt that I couldn’t quite leave Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey behind. I wanted to spend some more time in the company of these two people so I decided to re-read Gaudy Night. A good cozy set at Oxford seemed to just the thing to ward off the cold that seems to have Europe in a firm grip, as well as allowing me to spend some more time with Harriet and Peter.

The Tea: Apple, Cinnamon and Raisin tea.

Do They Go Together: They do go really well together both have a warm feel with a bit of a spicy twist at the end.

Happy Birthday Dickens

Dickens google doodle

Love today’s Google Doodle.

My favourite Dickens is probably A Christmas Carol. Although I actually find that Dickens, for me, is better in movie/mini-series form than in book form (don’t all die). I really enjoyed the BBC miniseries of Bleak House but I found the book tedious. Anyway, Happy Birthday Mr. Dickens!
