    • Pairing books with tea (Jane Thynne’s Black Roses)

      Black Roses by Jane Thynne is the first in a series set in pre-war Nazi Germany. It’s intense, nail-bitingly suspenseful and slightly romantic.

      The main character, Clara Vine, moves to Nazi Germany from England to further her acting career. She is a talented actress but for some reason is not able to make the cut in England.

      Upon the suggestion of an acquaintance, she relocates to Berlin to find work at the famous Babelsberg Studio. Once there, she unwittingly gets entangled with the inner circle of the Nazi wives. This proves to be of interest to British intelligence and soon they recruit her to spy for them.

      I love this series. It’s riveting. It has everything I want in a book: a strong woman, espionage, romance and history. I am waiting with great impatience for the next book in this series.

      Which tea would go well with this book? How about Twinings China Rose? Clara is English. Twinings is a great English tea company. And China Rose tea is infused with roses. I’d say it’s a perfect match. What sayeth you? xoxo, Jane

      PS. I also created a Pinterest board for this tea pairing because of course.

      Today’s (tonight’s) Fortnums advent calendar tea is Earl Grey, my second favorite after Countess Grey. ☕️💕 I can’t remember what my tea drinking life was like before Fortnums. #earlgrey #fortnumstea #fortnums
      A first edition of From Russia with Love costs only $6500. I mean, for me that’s pocket change. 🤪🤣I’ve never read Ian Fleming. Have you?
      Here is a better upload of the most fabulous woman ever!
      Today we did something we don’t often do, we left the 🏡 for a meal. I had the lobster 🦞 ravioli and little doughnuts with Nutella. I shared with my husband because I’m nice like that. Then we went to see President Obama’s portrait at the Smithsonian, which I’ve never seen before. It was wonderful. We also paid a visit to my Queen👸🏽 , Michelle Obama’s portrait.
