…and some initial feedback

Forget Peter Pan tea at the Shard and One Aldwych’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tea – my mums very own Alice in Wonderland tea gave them a run for their money! Making the effort to theme a tea at home really did tap into that inner child of ours!

At this small gathering of family and friends, I learnt some things…..

1. Saying that you will ‘watch Netflix and chill’, does not mean you’re going to relax and watch TV…is it really just me that didn’t know that?
2. Adults really are just big kids, we like games, winning and praise as much as any 10 year old.
3. Close family and friends will always give you the harshest feedback!

So, their initial feedback to my blog: “Wot do you wanna do that for?” “I don’t get it!”, “It was too long, I lost interest!” “It sounds clever, not like you at all!” “You should call it how the other half live.” “You look really miserable in your photo!” 😊

Defying odds and reason, I’m back!

Going forward I will include ‘overheard in Costa / a coffee shop’, for which I have some golden nuggets(!) and I will continue to share my ‘coffee’ and ‘people’ experiences…. such as this week, when trying to help an elderly, hard of hearing man in Costa, I thought I’d pay for his order and said to him that I’d bring it over…. only I brought an order over that wasn’t his….. try explaining that to the person who thought they’d bagged the last mac and cheese on the shelf…. eek!
