It's Friday, so it's time for this week's 'Tea Reads' episode! In this video, I'm joined by my Mum (Donna), and we share our regular Friday routine of a teatime chat about books over tea and a sweet treat. In our 'Tea Reads' episodes, we'll be sharing great short reads that can be enjoyed in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. In today's episode, we're baking another family recipe, this time a Tea Loaf. This recipe is a favourite of ours as it’s so easy, takes hardly any ingredients (no eggs! no butter!) and is delicious. We also share some brilliant poems, inspired by Remembrance Day and Martinmas, as well as some lovely nature writing extracts. Happy weekend everyone! Take care and keep safe.
