Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower,
And you it's only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live.

A rose by any other name... Good morning, everyone. Sunday mornings... I think they are special for most families. A time to be together, even if one is reading the newspaper, another on the computer, yet another watching early morning cartoons... "Home." It's a special time and place.
A mug of Taylors of Harrogate's "Yorkshire" tea in front of me, a bowl of muesli next to it, and a banana for afterwards. Cloudy skies, with a touch of rain to come... Good day to relax and read a good book!

Thanks for showing this. It's interesting, isn't it, how different sites seem to give different information? I'm referring to the page on 'blends.' I remember many months ago we were commenting on the contents of 'English Breakfast' teas. I said it was a blend of Keemun and Ceylon, you mentioned it was a blend of Assam and Ceylon... And we were both correct, depending upon the blender's choice! We've now seen several different sites with both blends offered. Someone mentioned that they preferred Assam in the morning and Keemun in the afternoon, while I preferred Keemun in the morning and Assam in the afternoon. I guess this is why the blenders make both available as an English Breakfast tea. This is probably what makes horse racing! If we all bet on the same horse it would be no fun at all!
Then the site you found the other day saying that Lapsang Souchong should be 'naturally' smokey flavored, but the this site saying it should be smoked over pine fires... I wonder if one is 'more correct' than the other, or just different ways of achieving the same end product?
And then... there actually ARE people who like Lipton tea in bags...
I'm going to grab another cup of tea and my book, sit down and read a while!
