Punctual Picks #7

A seventh Punctual Picks with its share of discoveries, treats and curiosities of all kinds found along my way.

Cherry Blossom ; Whittard

This tea is definitely my favourite drink. I discovered it while visiting a Whittard shop in the United Kingdom. Since then, I cannot help buying some on every trip to England. This fine cherry blossom tea needs taming. If left to steep too long, it turns bitter. It is delicate and its taste is one of a kind. I love floral drinks and it is a real delight to sip. To find out more, you can reread my article on Whittard (in French).

AllTrails

Since I took up walking and hiking, I have been interested in websites and apps to discover Switzerland and other places. After some research, I was won over by AllTrails, which offers complete hiking guides all over the world. Just type in a place to find a range of walks all around it. Each suggestion is complete, with its difficulty level, other walkers’ reviews and a few photos of the place. I also use it by embedding its maps in some of my articles. There is also an app that very often comes along with me.

Georgianna Lane

I discovered Georgianna Lane’s floral world somewhat by chance online, thanks to her magnificent book “London in Bloom”. The few pages glimpsed online made me want to know more. So I ordered the book without hesitation. I was immediately amazed by her photographic style and her flower-tinted world. The photographer also offers books devoted to certain flowers. For my part, I love her work. I own only one of her books, but I plan to complete my collection soon. In the meantime, I enjoy browsing her Instagram account and her website, full of dreamy shots.

Lonely Planet

When I plan a trip, I turn first to Lonely Planet. I love their intuitive, easy-to-read travel guides. I happily browse their website looking for information about my next destination. I also listen to their podcast, which I find fascinating. It even helps pass the time on the way to my destination.

La Gazette Café

La Gazette Café is a pretty shop in Morges (in French). It offers a selection of gifts from small makers and a few homemade gourmet products. The shop also serves coffee and a range of drinks to have in or take away. For my part, I immediately loved the atmosphere and the welcome. The address is already on my list for birthday or Christmas presents. A favourite: the Mexican hot chocolate set.
