    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.

  • Must Watch TV Box Sets

    Must Watch TV Box Sets
    May 7 2020
    In this episode I'm talking to TV Critic Rob Buckley from The Medium Is Not Enough about TV Box Sets that you MUST watch. The challenge I set Rob was to find box sets for us to watch within the genres of Action/Adventure, Fantasy Adventure, Comedy, Thriller, Scary/Horror and Pandamic TV show. Here's Rob's choices: Action & Adventure Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan Possibly the very definition of escapist, not too taxing TV – it’s holiday reading for those who are stuck at home watching TV. It’s full of action and thrills and is probably better than the original books. Two seasons, both free on Amazon Prime. READ ROBS REVIEW Fantasy Adventure Travelers Time travellers from the future come back to our time to prevent a terrible future from happening. The catch is they can only transfer their consciousnesses into existing people’s minds, so they end up taking over people’s lives, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. It’s Canadian and stars Will from Will &am
