Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strand,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Good morning, everyone. A very bright and cool Friday today, with a mug of East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea to go with some fresh babbaganoush and hummus! Interesting day coming up; there is a local fair going on at the big Shinto shrine near my house. I always enjoy street fairs!

You too, eh? Got me for forging a 'get out of Gym' note. I used one of my father's medical books to pick a really good sounding disease. I chose "pneumoconiosis," saying I had a slight case of it and should be better by the following week. Unfortunately my Gym teacher was from a small coal mining town in Pennsylvania, and recognized "Black Lung" disease immediately... I guess 15-year olds who have never been down in the mine don't get it, much less 'slight cases' of it...

I'll be interested to hear your comments about this Ceylon. So far, as much as I love their English Breakfast tea, it's been the only one from their line.

Sounds fantastic! Did you buy... Oops! Silly question! HOW MANY teas did you buy from her?
Just enough time now for a second mug of tea, then off to the fair!
