Mixtape, Dickens, Tea And Roses

Spending most week evenings and much of the weekend doing paperwork is a bit grim.
I keep going by treating myself to things like cups of tea in the garden and short recreational reading breaks (...um, and unlimited amounts of icecream.)

I've been looking through my copies of Mixtape. Mixtape is a new craftzine, and, I'm happy to say, an excellent diversion, celebrating things hand~made, green and groovy.

...and speaking of treats, I was taken out last night to see Miriam Margolyes in Dickens' Women. (If Miriam looks familiar, that might be because she plays Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter movies.)
It was fabulous.
Thanks Dad!
