    I don't keep coffee in since rarely drink it myself so it ends up going all hard in the jar. And it's no cheap.

    Robin, you should try Thomsons - they're in Giffnock, and they have a shop there, where you can taste before buying.

    Cool... They've won awards and have been in business since 1841. The factory was 10 mins from my front door, and the smell of the beans roasting used to waft over our house

    Brilliant blue cloudless sky here this morning in London. Now starting to cloud over with white cumulus clouds. It has reached the maximum temperature expected of 22°C; which given the recent temperatures we have been suffering feels quite chilly!

    Yesterday as we were leaving home the sky was looking like it could rain, and when we reached London the clouds were heavy and dark and it looked like it would pour down at any minute. It didn't of course, nor did it rain overnight. Another !

    Where is all this rain going? Not here, that's for sure!
