Day one
This nice Christmas song by Austrian songwriter Lorenz Maierhofer always makes me think of the UK and somehow get "homesick"
December again!
I'm back from five lovely days in the UK with some shopping, a lot nice food and a lovely time just being back over there! I'll definivitely tell you more about it and also show you some pictures I've taken in Brighton, Lewes and London.
But first... It is first of December and consequently... First of advent! Time for an advent calendar! I've filled a real one for my best friend with some lovely thingies from the UK but there will be also a virtuel one on my blog. So check it out!
What else is coming up beside an advents calendar and stories from the UK? Yes, the cookies season ;-)
Have a lovely first of December and enjoy the next four weeks! They are the most busy but also the best of the whole year!
Love, Teadrinker

Coffee or tea my dear? - Hot chocolate, please
I'm not that much into hot chocolate... As I do not really like milk, as long it is milk. As soon it gets cheese or yoghurt or stuff it is fine for me, but not as milk-milk... To make this fact even worse; my uncle runs a farm with milk-cows and there was fresh milk all the time... It took me years and years to make it clear to my granny that I do not want to have milk... The one who understood it in the end was not her but my godfather, who preferes milk over tea and coffee.. But he finally got the hint and allowed me to have lemonade instead (his second-favorite drink, right after hot chocolate)
The only way I drink milk is at Starbucks... White chocolate mocca... And lately I tried a Gingerbread latte... I must have been quite in a strange mood to order something containing 90% milk, but I did and are on better term with it now!
And so I was seriously in the mood of a hot chocolate now... I mean, is there anything better on a gray and cold Novembers day? Well, yes... Tea! But never mind!
You need: 1 cup of milk, 25 gramm chocolate, 1 teaspoon cacao powder, some nutmeg, some cinnamon and if you like whipped cream and chocolat pieces to sprinkle.
Bring the milk to a simmer, add the chocolate and the cacao powder and allow to melt. Season with nutmeg and cinnamon and top with the cream.
I'm going to install myself on the sofa now with my hot chocolate, some IKEA pepperkaka (gingerbread) and my stitching to watch some Yes Prime Minister. Love it!
Enjoy your Sunday!

As I've told you yesterday, Saturday was TLNOOTHHP and we went to the pictures to see Anonymous.
It is very hard to give you a summary of the plot, so I'd say if you're interessted, go to Wikipedia.
Positive Points: Acting, story line and the interessting way the prologue goes directly into the movie. Mother and daughter Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson playing old and young Elizabeth.
Negavite Point: At the beginning it was very hard to get the who-is-who straight and all the flashbacks made it a bit more complex to understand.
To make it short; Anonymous is a film absolutely to my taste. It is set in England, there are some great English actors in it, and the plot is just the way I like it. And... Main reason for me to watch the movie; Vanessa Redgrave! Wonderful portrait of the old Queen!
