The Whistling Gypsy came over the hill,
Down thru the valley so shady;
He whistled and he sang
til the greenwood rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.
She left her father's castle gate,
she left her fair young lover;
She left her servants
And her estate
to follow the gypsy rover.
A dee do a dee do die day,
A dee do a dee day-o
He whistled and he sang
Til the greenwood rang,
And he won the heart of a lady.

Good morning, everyone! Another fine day! I have my cup filled with unbranded Keemun tea, and a plate of fresh croissants beside it. A quick breakie then we're off to ride the mountains above Kyoto!

Might be... But after a few, I could spell it that way too.

I purchase mine from
McNultey's Tea and Coffee. They have two grades of the tea; natural and Extra Smokey. I assume that the Extra Smokey is an enhanced tea but I love it! It's worth it to me to have it shipped all the way from the States, rather than buying some here. The import shop in Kyoto sells a Japanese importer's brand but I don't care for the flavor.... Much to thin. I used to buy my Keemun from them too before I discovered the unbranded Keemun at the Chinese import shop. McNultey's prices are really low; a pound (428gm) of Lapsang Souchong costs $18 USD.

I married my first wife at age 20. I didn't 'grow up' until I was 34 and married and divorced twice. Then at age 62 I became a child again.
Time for one more cup of tea, then a quick shower, and take my pony out of the barn!
