Hi,<\/p>\n
Phew, I’ve had such a busy few weeks since my last blog update! First, it was my birthday at the end of April and because I basically had two full lockdown birthdays in 2020 and 2021, I decided to go for it this year and have a three-day birthday celebration. On my actual birthday, my husband and I went out for an early dinner and then went on to the theatre to see an adaptation of a Peter James crime novel, Looking Good Dead (that might sound a bit morbid, but I am a crime writer after all!). Peter James is one of my favourite authors and the play was fantastic \u2013 it starred Adam Woodyatt (Ian from EastEnders) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Then, the following evening, we had some friends round for drinks and a barbecue in the garden. At QVC, we’ve recently started selling a range of premixed cocktails from a company called Tapp’d<\/a>, so it seemed the perfect opportunity to try some of them out.<\/p>\n There is such a good selection to choose from \u2013 Mojitos, \u00a0Pina Coladas, even alcohol-free versions \u2013 plus they are vegetarian and vegan friendly and gluten-free (so, as one of my friends commented, practically a health drink!). Some are just “pour and drink”, others you pop into a cocktail shaker with some ice and give them a quick shake. I tried several (!) and they were all delicious, and our friends very much enjoyed them too. In fact, one said, and I quote: “this is the best cocktail I’ve had since my holiday in the Maldives years ago \u2013 I’m just wearing more clothes now than I was then!” Big tick from all of us – thank you, Tapp’d! If you are thinking of having a celebration for the Jubilee next month or any sort of summer party, I would really recommend these.<\/p>\n No Description<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
