Happy 2006,
We're back and ready for a brand new year after our
wonderful Christmas break.
The new product scrapbook of ideas is out and we're
putting systems in place to cope with all our
orders this year. If you have any
ideas about the types of products Today was Fun
should make, or suggestions for our Tomorrow's Soup
ingredients then let us know. There is an email link
below for all you bright sparks out there. One hint -
we're not interested in creating a clothing
range for dogs or greeting cards with smutty inuendo
stuck to vintage photographs.
| New Year Resolutions |
 |
New Resolutions should start with last year's diary.
Take a moment to leaf through 2005, page-by-page
making notes of
all the things you did, people you met and places
you went. Invite a friend to do the same and meet up
for a cup of tea to share your findings.
I really believe that we don't give ourselves enough
credit
for all the things we acheive in life. Instead
we find
ourselves endlessly chasing a list of things we want to
do in the future, a list that never ends.
Once you have given yourself a pat on the back and
remembered all the wonderful, difficult, proud and
exhilarating moments of last year you are ready to
move on and look at the year ahead.

| Caravaning our tea into Russia |
|
Tea (along with vodka) is the national drink of Russia
so we thought we'd better get in on the act. The days
of queueing for black bread are over and the middle
classes have
money to spend. It's now more likely to be queues for
Happiness Tea and Byron Bay cookies at Garderobe on
a Saturday morning.
Garderobe, 24/1 Bolshaya Nikitskaya St, 125009
Moscow - tell Igor we sent you.

| Chic Canvas |
|
For people dreaming of escape from January's gloom
and others planning to make the trek to Europe for the
Summer we have a great idea...
...camping but not as you know it! Ruth and her
husband Lodewijk have set up Canvas Chic and their
camp in the South of France looks amazing. Guests
stay in handcrafted Yurts filled with all the luxuries of
a four star resort.
Coupled with stunning locations, it looks good enough
to
give up the luxury villa and enjoy a couple of nights
sharing communal wash facilities!

We're completely ignoring all the
GI diets
in the paper and "New Year-New You" articles and
have a wonderful orangey spicey chocolate cake for
you to make. If you are determined to be good
and want to stick to that New Year Boot camp training
you
enrolled for, then enjoy one slice and
give the rest away to your neighbours. Those with
small children who have just returned from the park
covered in mud will be most
appreciative.
