Description:

An entertaining and engrossing collection of British customs, superstitions and legends from past and present.

Did you know, in Cumbria it was believed a person lying on a pillow stuffed with pigeon’s feathers could not die? Or that green is an unlucky colour for wedding dresses? In Scotland it was thought you could ward off fairies by hanging your trousers from the foot of the bed, and in Gloucestershire you could cure warts by cutting notches in the bark of an ash tree.

You’ve heard about King Arthur and St George, but how about the Green Man, a vegetative deity who is seen to symbolise death and rebirth? Or Black Shuck, the giant ghostly dog who was reputed to roam East Anglia?

In this beautifully illustrated book, Dee Dee Chainey tells tales of mountains and rivers, pixies and fairy folk, and witches and alchemy. She explores how British culture has been shaped by the tales passed between generations, and by the land that we live on.

As well as looking at the history of this subject, this book lists the places you can go to see folklore alive and well today. The Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival in Cambridgeshire or the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance in Staffordshire for example, or wassailing cider orchards in Somerset.

Beautiful gift for matcha fans!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
My daughter is obsessed with matcha, so when I found this for Easter I knew it was the one. She makes her own latte every single morning, so this fit perfectly into her routine. The packaging alone is gorgeous — the colors worked beautifully with the Easter basket without me having to do much styling at all. Everything she needs to make her matcha was included in the box, nothing missing, nothing to track down separately. I was so happy I stumbled across this, and she absolutely loved it. Honestly one of those gifts that just lands exactly right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It is a very nice set, but I was disappointed that I did not receive the spoon with the set.

Excellent matcha powder
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 1.4 oz (40g)
The color is a vibrant, electric green right out of the tin, which let me know immediately that it’s actually a high-quality first harvest. It whisks up into a beautiful, silky froth with absolutely zero bitterness or chalky aftertaste. I’ve been drinking it straight with just hot water every morning, and it gives me a smooth, clean energy boost without the usual coffee jitters. Honestly, for a certified ceremonial grade, the quality you get for the price makes this an absolute staple in my kitchen now.

Great matcha powder for latte
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g), Flavor Name: Ceremonial Grade, Size: 3.5 oz (100g)
Beyond my expectations. This matcha powder is seriously impressive ,super smooth texture, rich and authentic matcha flavor, and such a beautiful vibrant green color. You can really taste the quality in every sip. It blends perfectly whether for lattes, baking, or just traditional matcha. Especially perfect for making matcha lattes , creamy, fragrant, and full of matcha flavor without tasting bitter. Definitely one of the best matcha powders I’ve tried lately.
