Lea Lemons spa day

Tonight I decided to indulge myself a bit. Though, do I really need more indulgence after an evening with my best friend? Two episodes of Downton Abbey, countles cups of tea, pizza and our stitching made our evening. Yes, we do have a problem with keeping our hands quite while watching TV, so we do some multitasking in order to get our christmas crossstitching thingies done before end of November.

But back to topic. I came home and had the sudden feeling that I'd like to have a shower and then treat myself with some bodylotion and stuff. The full program, or at least the part of it you can do in half an hour or so and only with lemon-cosmetics. Lemon body scrubb by The Body Shop, body lotion and hand cream by Crabtree&Evelyn and a facial mask by Yves Rocher. Oh, and of course some tea, Raspberry and Lemon.  While I put together my sour spa program I had a flash of creativity. Halloween is coming closer, so why not practice with lemons instead of pumpkins...? Don't laugh, arts were never my strong point...!

Can you keep a secret? I was so busy with all my doodeling and lemon-carving that I completely forgot about my spa-plans and now it is too late for today.... I will have to postpone it and give it another go tomorrow evening...! With my favorite lemon-song of course; Lemon Tree by Fools garden

Love letter to autumn

Dear autumn

I like you very much. You may wonder why as some people say that you're making them feel depressed. But I can tell you why I love you.

It is because of marrons and cookies and mulled wine and tea. Coloured leaves and fog, winter frost and the first snow. Long evenings on the sofa with a good book and a warm blaket. And of course it is because I can look forward to Christmas without all the stress cause there is still enough time to buy presents and bake cookies. 

The time will come when you have to leave and winter will arrive. I will be sad, of course. But then... Well, you will come back next year. I'm looking forward to it! 

With lots of love

Yours tea-queen

Just a small note about my pictures. I take most of them with my Nikon D-90 and the only thing I do on the computer is adding my name and change the size if necessary. I do not belive in photo shop, this is not the way I see photography. For me it is the art of the moment, a situation you catch to remember it and to show it to others. No need to change anything. 

Hello and welcome to my small kingdom!

A friendly hello to everybody!

This blog is my kingdom. The place where I show you the food I'm cooking, talk about music and books I love and show some of the picrures I take round the place where I live. I'll just share the things I like and things that make my live worth living.

If you're interessted why I chose this name... It happens that I love tea and have an awful lot of it. One of my colleagues at work looked at me quite astonished when I told her that I drink tea: "You like tea? Why? Cause of England and so?"
Mhhm, yes, cause of England and so, of course. As I love England. But mostly just cause I love a nice cup of tea! People like my father ("Tea makes me feel sick.") will think I'm crazy. But the rest of you will understand!

I hope to see you soon !
