I am sad because of Mags and the loss of her husband :-(
Very close to home for me in terms of age and circumstance and also in the US at the minute and all that is on over here is about a guy who killed 32 people in a college so just feeling a bit down at the minute.
i LOVE starbucks and moaned like no ones business at xxluckyxx and sonkie to stop at starbucks on our way back from Bath meet. havent had a starbucks in 5 years!!
i went for the mocha with hazelnut syrup. was GORGEOUS!!
I love cappuccinos but I prefer the ones you get Italian restaurants which are smaller and more authentic. I find the ones in Starbucks and Costa too big and way too sickly.
I always get my espresso coffees in Starbucks, and I love Costa for mochas and hot chocolates with whipped cream and marshmallows (I'm allowed, I'm doing Paul McKenna's system!!!).
When I was at Uni I worked part time for Costa and used to love their double macchiato, basically a double espresso with the tiniest drop of frothy milk! So delicious!
Asked for it in Starbucks and got something that resembled a large double shot latte, not impressed as I HAD to drink it cos I'd bought it!! LOL
Their coffee is good, and i like a cupochino(spelling?) with hazelnut. Or hot chocolate. They also do an iced coffee, and like the one that is caramel with cream, loads of sugar and milk and probably has a gazillion calories
