Today my calendar is full of meetings, with staff, clients and Business Club members.
The exception is dinner at Yo Yo Beijing tonight, for my son’s birthday.
The photo of the day is coffee at one of the meetings.

Home and a visit to StarShipSofa HQ
It was time to drive home today but on the way I took a slight detour and stopped off for coffee and a bacon sandwich with Tony at StarShipSofa HQ.

A cold day at Scandinavian Village, Aviemore, Cairngorm National Park.
Once the sun broke through this was the view from my patio windows whilst I had my morning coffee.

Coffee at Northern Tea Merchants @TeaMerchant with @alexkingsley
I went across to Chesterfield today to see Alex and he took me to the Northern Tea Merchants for coffee and a cake. What an experience.
The first thing you have to do is choose your beans, then they freshly ground your choice before making the coffee just for you. Whilst they make you drink, you take a seat in their “interesting shop” and then your food and drink is brought to your table. No hanging around in that pack of customers waiting for your coffee to be given to you like you get in the chains!
Alex and I chose the same beans and had a cafetière for two (6 cups), a choice of cream or milk, two cakes and change from £7.
This is the coffee we chose:
And I bought some to take home.
I have driven past this shop many time when going to and from the Peak District and did not know it was there – but next time I am passing I am going to stop and get a coffee.
They sell tea as well.

Walking near Branston
For the first time in several weeks, I was able to get out for a couple of miles walking near Branston. The route took me out across the fields. It was a blustery day so it made taking some of the photos difficult as the subjects were moving a lot. However the bursts of bright sun shine made for some interesting shots.
Walking near Branston
Of course there was coffee. I found a sheltered spot beside some woods for a stop.
Today made using my titanium meths stove, folding handle, steel REI Sierra cup and the lid I made from the bottom of a cake tin.
Nothing fancy today, instant Milicano coffee stirred with the empty packet.
This is a really compact kit for a brew whilst walking – all the gear I took with me this morning went into my jacket pockets. The ground sheet I sat on is the same off cut that I use in the door of my MSR Hubba backpacking tent.
