I love it BB. Gert, Daintree is one of our all time favourites in this house.  It is a lovely black tea. I think my afternoon cuppa will be pomegranate.  :D

I think it will be a good evening tea but it is light on flavour. Funny how we choose the tea for our mood or how we feel. I am right into tea now. Also got an invite to a special tea demo evening next week at Tea2. They call me by name now. Cah Ching!

Gert did  :D :D  What is your favourite ?

I have 16 teas now and I love them all at different times of the day. Crazy for someone who had no tea in the house a few months ago. My latest favourite in oolong iron goddess of mercy or maybe  French Earl Grey.

More teas for me to try, thanks Gert

I think once your over fifty, have been married forever, were on a tight budget when you had young children, worked weekends, afternoons and nights to make ends meet - we are past spending nothing - earned are rights to a few of the special things in life that bring us pleasure.  :D
Love it Michele. I'm going to have to frame this so DH can read and understand :D :D :D

And I'm definitely going to T2 next week (tho I am not a VIP like Gert ;D)

I've failed in a big way. I thought I wouldn't be buying anything much but then DD and I saw some Sandler shoes marked down to half price. Of course I love Sandlers, find them comfortable, they were my size and were very comfy on. Need I say more. I now have my umpteenth pair of shoes.

I'll fail in November for sure as DD has holidays and she is thinking of going somewhere over East and I think I am invited too.  ;D ;D

Singapore would be north and west a bit . It think  DD and cookie are coming East  and North to visit ME!!  Then again she may have meant East Asia  which is still west and north of us and that would maybe be Singapore.Wasn't that trip aborted last year?
