Find me a drink. THE roast chicken wine. December 18, 2014 · 3:40 pm. It’s nearly Christmas and that means the season of eating and drinking is upon us. I’m partial to a festive cocktail or two and these recipes are perfect for using up those extra ingredients you have lying around the kitchen at this time of year. Got some cranberries going spare? Try the Christmas Southside. 35ml Tanqueray London Dry. With any leftover mincemeat, go for a Mincemeat Irish. 50ml Sainsbury’s Irish Cream. Add all of the in...

Find me a drink. Monthly Archives: February 2015. February 2, 2015 · 9:38 pm. Today has got to have been the coldest of winter so far. When I arrived home this evening, it took a fair while to thaw out my icy fingers and toes, and that was with gloves and thick socks on! If, like me, you’re in need of a glass of something warming on such an evening, pop down to Aldi and pick up a bottle of the plummy Vignobles Rousselet Pinot Noir. Or the rich, cherry-spiked Venturer Costières de Nîmes.

Find me a drink. Monthly Archives: June 2015. June 9, 2015 · 7:56 pm. A recent trip to Rome has reintroduced me to the tangy, bitter-sweet flavours of Aperol. An Italian aperitif made using a ‘secret’ blend of bitter orange, rhubarb, vanilla and various herbs, this orange drink is widely enjoyed in Italy and is fast becoming a summer staple of mine. You can pick up a bottle of Aperol in most UK supermarkets for around 15. Filed under Taste Test. Everything is just peachy. Award-winning reds for Easter.

Vitikultur och Vinmakning på Nya Zeeland. Torsdag 25 september 2014. 1 grishuvud kostar cirka 50 kr här i Gisborne, och för det får man en rimlig kvalitet och mycket kött, jag bad slaktarn såga det i mitten och använde den ena halvan igår och frös in den andra. 5st 33cl öl, gärna av mörkare sötare typ. Blandade örter (rosmarin, persilja and timjan). Efter 24h tog jag ur formen ur ugnen, lyfte ur grisen och lät den vila cirka 30 minuter. Sen plockade jag allt kött inklusive tunga och blandade i en skå...

Vitikultur och Vinmakning på Nya Zeeland. Måndag 28 oktober 2013. Bourgogne and Champagne 2013.

Random breathing | Purple Running
http://purplerunning.com/run/random-breathing
Sally Easton's journey to the London Marathon 2013 and beyond. Look at all that air to breathe. Breathing seems to have come up a lot in various conversations recently, and magazine articles. My last visit to the magical Michaela. For my shoulder got me thinking, as she was talking to me about breathing to help my shoulder. It seems the shoulder is related to lots of other bits the diagonally opposite hip for example, interestingly it is my weaker leg side. Spooky, maybe she’s right! I tried this ‘deep b...

What does a runner look like? | Purple Running

Sally Easton's journey to the London Marathon 2013 and beyond. What does a runner look like? Ready for the London marathon 2013. A growing handful of people are telling me I look like a runner. I’ve so far failed to explore what they mean by that. I must challenge the next person (if there is one) who makes such a comment. Do runners have a particular physiognomy? Watching the World Championships in Moscow you’d have to say not. There are lots of different shapes and sizes out there. August 20, 2013.

Bournemouth marathon – the false start | Purple Running
http://purplerunning.com/run/bournemouth-marathon-the-false-start
Sally Easton's journey to the London Marathon 2013 and beyond. Bournemouth marathon the false start. Not doing enough of this. Well, I did enter the Bournemouth marathon, which runs on Oct 6. In my defence, I have been a bit pre-occupied with swimming. On which subject it’s all gone to my head literally – I’m learning tumble turns now. Future post. Last session was tough, really tough. My hips hurt. That’s a first. I’m assuming it’s because I was trying to run faster. My ticking over has involved sourcin...

Effort – 1, ability – 0 | Purple Running
http://purplerunning.com/swim/effort-1-ability-0
Sally Easton's journey to the London Marathon 2013 and beyond. Effort 1, ability 0. I imagine the slightly sardonic, droll tone of the football scores announcer on the telly. And it’s not as bad the headline suggests. This is a post about a positive learning! As a swimming technique, relaxing was never really going to work for me, fearful of drowning, panicking in water, unable to breathe, even with my head above water, without hyperventilating. But I said at the time. RPE) had anything to do with swimmi...
