I was trying to find something that I knew I would enjoy when I realised that I have not read anything by George MacDonald ever since I finished The Lost Princess in 2018! That’s a pretty long time so I thought that it was high time I remedied the situation. I managed to find a… Read More Book Review: The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

In The Village News, Tom Fort visits twenty-two villages in England and declares that the village isn’t… Read More Book Review: The Village News by Tom Fort
I’ve been wanting to try more Wodehouse that isn’t about Wooster and Jeeves, and since I couldn’t find any Uncle Fred stories, I decided to try reading more about Ukridge.

I have finally opened this!! It took much longer than expected because I want it to last forever (also, I was trying to finish a few other teas). But it’s open, I’ve tasted it, and I’ve got a tea review for you in not one, but two formats!

I thought that I’ve already read this for a university class a long, long time ago, but apparently not!
