I don't know about coffee but Pa Snip offers a very delicious hot sausage and black pudding breakfast at his allotment shed. Included in the offer is a free gym session shovelling compost into his newly built containers. I am reliably informed that you would pay at least £99 for a similar experience on any Groupon or Amazon offer :lol:

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

I'm the same if you get me started.

mmmm, coffee :D I think I drink too much of the stuff... I have a costa card, and get a free coffee about once a fortnight from the points I save up... so at 5 points a pound spent, that's about 25 coffees a fortnight... ok... i may be slightly addicted...

The only decent coffee I have drunk has been from Collona and Small. Everywhere else is ok, average or poor.

It is a matter of taste though, I get visitors who won't drink coffee at my home because it isn't instant,

And just to illustrate what an obsessive I am I have bought green beans and roasted my own for years, recently with coffee becoming very popular I can buy decent coffee though it has to be beans I grind myself. Most ground coffee was on its way out before it got to the shelves.

I do try everything that's available in the same way I'll try cheap wines. Always hoping for a pleasant surprise is what inspires me. The biggest surprises have been how poor (To my taste) some expensive wines and coffees can be.

Haha, I get the same :D instant is ok, but nothing special. Although, the flavoured instant is quite good if nothing better is available

well colour me jealous... I wish I had the time, patience and equipment to do that. NOTHING beats fresh roast and ground coffee

I roasted with a hot air gun using a large collander from Ikea.

There isn't any money saving in this, the benefit is roasting beans for the flavour you require though it is another black-art.

Whilst Im digressing check-out my post on potatoe art.
