    Making The Perfect Cup of Tea
    Apr 29 2020
    In the first episode of Lockdown Land we talk to Rachael Kinsella from ‘Tea With Rachael‘ about making the perfect cup of tea. Most of us probably drink many cups of tea a day (I know I do!) but do we really take the time to make a great cup of tea. Does milk go in first or last? Is loose tea the same as the tea in bags? How long should we brew for? Are alternative milk products any good in tea? All these important questions are answered in this episode of Lockdown Land and Rachael choses a couple of nice teas for us to try out. Make sure you check our Rachaels website which offers lots of tips, advice and help for chosing the right tea. You can also connect with Rachael on Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.

    In this episode of Lockdown Land I talk to Dylan Beckbessinger from The DND Geek about starting a simple game of Dungeons & Dragons.

Games can last ages and transport you to new worlds. But… how difficult is it to kick off a simple game? I talk to Dylan from The DND Geek about how easy it is to start your first game and if you really need those fancy multi-sided dice. We also talk about picking your characters, the roles of a Dungeon Master and where you can find resources online to build your game. Make sure you check out The DND Geek website which offers lots of tips and advice on D&D plus a really cool character generator. You can also meet up with Dylan on Twitter.
