I was taking some pictures this morning for my instagram account and I realized that most of my photo shoots involve some kind of coffee drinking.
I love the ritual of taking time sipping aromatic coffee from a pretty mug or cup and nibbling something sweet.
It's one of life's little pleasures that I adore.
I mostly like breakfast coffee but I equally have a soft spot for an early afternoon one, which I accompany with one of my favourite biscuits. I like coffee really warm but I can take my mug around the house and enjoy sipping from it even when coffee is cold. I drink hot coffee and tea in the summer , though when the weather is really warm , a freddo cappuccino is my 'cup of tea'!!
Some weeks ago, we had a snow storm in Greece, something really unusual for us. When the sun came out and snow stopped falling , I took my coffeee tray outside and spend some moments admiring the white , crystal beauty. Coffee was hot and very soon ......frozen .
On Valentine's day , coffee was accompanied by a cake with chocolate and straberries plus some pink roses .
An afternoon coffee tastes better with a sweet treat made from oat flakes, banana, raisins and nuts.
Freddo cappuccino in below zero temperatures:)
Coffee time in the warmth of my cozy living room in the glow of candles
and the crackling fire during a 30- hours- long power cut!
Oh! Christmas coffee bar arrangements have to be special ,for Christmas is only once a year :)
Halloween coffee never comes without a pumkin ,,,or two !
Reading books and coffee drinking go hand- in- hand especially on cold afternoons.
Coffee in my little kitchen . Time for relaxation and introspection. Light a candle and day dream!
Coffee when spring approaches . The hope of longer and brighter days make it sweeter.
A burst of colour makes my heart burst with happiness.
Everything is OK ,
Just before Easter , even in lockdown mode, cake and coffee help you move forward :) with a smile and a certainty that this will pass, too.
Summer time coffee is pure bliss. I can read a book, draw with my little boy, paint, do my crafts , crochet, do some decoupage , collect seashells and pebbles , decorate , chat with friends , relax on the beach ,
or just gaze at the green open space , the olive trees , the tall grass , smell the sea breeze and feel reborn. .
Wow , I didn't know I had so much to say about coffee drinking, given also the fact that I started drinking in my late thirties. Ourself really amazes us sometimes.

Well, that's it for today. I hope to be back soon with more thoughts , crafts , colour, ideas and love !!

Hi Tina
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely post such beautiful photographs!
I'm a coffee drinker. I've always hated tea but I wish I liked it as everyone says it's a refreshing drink. Have to say that's not an adjective I'd use for coffee. I only have two cups now I'm getting on a bit, but for me it's always a cappuccino or latte and it's got to be hot! I can't drink it once it starts to cool.
I remember one hot day someone persuaded me to have an iced coffee and I could have been sick!
It's odd that I really don't like coffee flavoured stuff like of any kind. It's the one chocolate I hate.
Is that spiced apple infusion tasty? Most of the ones I try are a bit soapy but I'm enjoying lemon and ginger tea although I don't class it as tea.
Your china cups are lovely. Take care. x
Thank you so much for your comment. It's always so good to hear from people that read my blog. The spiced apple tea is really good, especially for winter / Christmas time as it is quite spicy. I personally prefer tea without any added flavour and rather dislike fruity teas. Any way ,coffee is the best choice for me but I try not to overdo it during the day. I drink two cups , though I would like to drink more but then it affects my sleep. My best to you, Tina💕
