Another escapee here! Christmas on a campsite in Portugal for us!
I think the whole tea thing is a sign of just where AI and the tech bros are going in terms of manipulation if they’re cosifying tea, what next!.

I intend to take a break from a couple of those algorithms in 2026 and see if it eases the pressure a bit! PS Hope you had a great Christmas, catch up in the New Year? X
Tea is an everyday thing. Like oxygen, a necessity not a treat. A hot toddy is cosy as are buttered crumpets. Hope you have both in your hideaway. Happy Christmas.
How exciting to be going away. Wishing you both a lovely time! And cosy tea? Nah… but maybe a little glass of a favourite tipple would be my advice (with a mince pie of course 😉)
Thank you. It will be utter chaos here on Sunday and then just us two… perhaps I could put on my wrist warmers, light a candle and make some tea while I reflect on the passing year in my journal! Alternatively I’ll probably eat too much, whilst drinking Prosecco and watching crap TV! Have a good on! Xx
As always I enjoy reading your writings. I don’t like tea and not all coffee. But that’s okay. 😊
Enjoy your ‘holiday for two’. I hope you have sorted your luggage to accommodate your sewing, painting, jotting, dyeing, pasting etc…….. hahaha 🤣 and maybe a change of clothes!! Just have a lovely getaway and a very Happy Christmas:))
This year has been filled with my husband's health issues. Now that he's recovering, I plan to get back to seeing friends, making whatever I feel like, and enjoying my home, not being in a hospital. As much as I love people, I've had enough of demands.
Hi Izzy, just read your email and I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas away. I’ve really enjoyed the swirls course but sad to say I’ve still got a lot to do. I have, however, made some of the cards from your workshop last year and they are always really appreciated.
Enjoy the festive season and happy new year. Brenda x
Love love love this post! Wishing you every blessing at Christmas 🎄
Thank you 🙏 I was almost too scared to post it! Have lovely Christmas too 🎄
Love your trees! Happy new year; hope the getaway was restful!
Thanks Janice, it was 😊

Love the idea of a Christmas getaway! Hope you have a wonderful time and a rest from the busy year.
Thank you - we can’t wait! Happy Holidays 🎄

Thanks Debs! I’m getting ahead with a buttered crumpet for first breakfast 😋 Happy Christmas!

Oh don’t, Mary 😅 you know I’ll have to sit on my hands to stop myself throwing everything in the car at the last minute!! Happy Christmas 🎄!
I totally understand what you’re saying re tea. Everybody in every Instagram post seems to love it. It leaves me cold.
Ew, cold tea! Even worse 😂 !! I’m more a coffee drinker these days, and when I do have tea, I drink it black 😎
My plans for 2026 - drink tea and make stuff. Festive felicitations Izzy, and thank you for your wonderful words, they always make me smile.

I’m so glad he’s recovering. Most definitely the time to pull up the drawbridge and have some quiet, restoring time for you.
