This is one of several tasty cappuccino drinks I enjoyed during our recent journey to the Western Cape and back:
However, there is little to beat a home-made mug of tea enjoyed in a sunny spot along with a good book to read:
Some readers may recognise the arum lilies that featured in the recent family celebration. They lasted for a long time.

I had to let go of coffee, but enjoy flavored waters, smoothies and herbal tea. My newest crazy drink is a “Turmeric-Ginger-Lemon” water

With the heat wave still going strong here in the north of our country I wouldn’t mind that frozen drink at all!

Thankfully we haven’t been seared by the sun to that degree at all yet.

Tea is number one on my list. Coffee is quicker for a takeaway drink when we are driving long distances.

Those drinks look delicious, Anne. I also have a favourite sunny spot to retreat to with a good book. Your book looks interesting – is it about WW II? I love war stories where women are featured.

I have read several books in that genre. This one is well worth keeping an eye out for 🙂
