Tea, Tisane and a Load of Old Tosh

Have you ever stood in an endless queue in a coffee shop, waiting for your lukewarm cup of decorated froth and asked yourself why? Have you ever wandered through the aisles of a home and design store asking yourself why?  Why do they want me to decorate my house like a beach hut or Parisian Boudoir; or want me to put up plaques of house rules or toilet rules? Ever been inspired to bake an inevitably awful cake after watching one of the many cooking-made-easy TV shows...and failed horribly? This book is a journey through the maze of modern life, told by someone trying to answer life’s great questions including: what can Mindfulness do for me, and what exactly is the attraction of a Chai Latte? To be honest, it’s all Tea, Tisane and a Load of Old Tosh!

John Dixon

John Dixon decided to write poetry as an outlet for recording his first-hand experiences and observations of modern daily life. In this, his first book, he tackles subjects such as coffee culture, interior design, formula TV and Sunday morning cookery shows. John lives with his long-suffering family in Bedfordshire.
