Recipe: Cappuccino Muffins – Together with Lavazza, Tennis, Goran, Sting, Suggs, a Polar Bear and a Giant Inflatable Lobster

Cappuccino MuffinsPrior to Wimbledon I took part in the Lavazza coffee recipe challenge  all the recipes were amazing, and, although I thought that they were wonderful, my first round coffee candied almonds somehow did not appeal to the judges.  However in a rare feat of planning ahead I had also made some cappuccino muffins and coffee curd.

The lovely Michelle at Utterly Scrummy was even more of a blogging whirling dervish than she usually is for the duration, and came up with about 30 amazing coffee recipes, as well as having a coffee themed dinner party whilst working nights and looking after her three girls.   I am in awe.  Her runners-up prize was to attend the press day at Wimbledon, and when she asked my to be her plus one I jumped at the chance.

I do have a small confession to make that I was not entirely sure that I like tennis.  But Wimbledon is an experience and I was keen to go.  And I really loved it.  Watching live tennis is very very different to the television experience, and although I do not follow it, or watch on the telly I would jump at the change to go again. We met Goran Ivaniševic, who was serving the crowds cups of Lavazza (it has to be said that Michelle was rather more excited than I was, and it was her who made me take the photo of his buns!) .  Ed tells me that we should not like Goran as he knocked out Tim Henman in a rain-soaked match in 2001 (had the Centre Court had a roof then the story might have been very different?)

I also won a fastest reply gets the goodies email from Lavazza, and was given some tickets to see Sting at the Henley Festival (which they also sponsor), which I had never been to either.   I remember my late aunt saying that when she first went to Henley (some time just after WWII when she was in her early 20s) she thought she had died and gone to heaven.

The Henley Festival could only happen in England – picture a crowd dressed in black tie and wellies (it was muddy), entertained before the festival by such eccentricities as a brass quartet playing the Final Countdown – which has to be heard to be imagined – a wandering polar bear (like a pantomime horse but complete with growl) and a giant inflatable lobster!  Only in England!

Sting was amazing, the best bit was the punt drifting along the river just as he started An Englishman in New York, rather memorable was an exceedingly inebriated Suggs from Madness storming the stage and needing two bouncers to remove him (top right photo).

      I was very very lucky.

      I am glad to not be a city person anymore, but I do miss the salary sometimes.

    I am not huge on tennis myself but I concur seeing it live is a whole lot different than watching it on the telly. It pretty much goes for any sport I guess. By the by, those Cappuccino Muffins are fantastic!
