[Stitchawl]

Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning, and
the first thing that I heard
Was a song outside my window, and the
traffic wrote the words
It came ringing up like Christmas bells,
and rapping up like pipes and drums

Oh, won't you stay
We'll put on the day
And we'll wear it till the night comes


Good morning, all! Happy 24th! Think about it... that only happens once a month! And only for one day! How special is that!

Yorkshire tea in my cup and a list of Honeydo's in my pocket. Lot's of shopping to do to get ready for our ride next week. It will be the first long motorcycle tour of the new year, and I can't wait!

Do you remember I said that its taste is similar to Ceylon?
The taste and freshness are reminiscent of the best Ceylons, but typically are sweeter in the cup

Although, I prefer Taylors of Harrogate's Pure Ceylon.

There is a Nilgiri on offer at one of the import shops I visit. I haven't tasted it as yet, having been too snobbish to purchase an unbranded tea from that shop, but I think it's time I did so!

With all those herbs it must be a good healthy drink! Bombay Sapphire has just half of them, and think how healthy that keeps me! On the other hand, this Botanist Islay costs £25, almost twice the price of Bombay... I wonder if it will make me twice as healthy. I think it would be a good experiment to try.

Just enough time for a second cup of Yorkshire tea before I can't get out. The shops I need to visit don't open until 10:30-11:00 which is a bother...
