Nothing a nice cuppa tea won't fix. Perhaps a little Merciful Iron Goddess with a spot of honey to sweeten our bumblebee.

He possibly did...

Very true but it does work well with Christmas cookies ( well most sweet baked goods) and chocolate. Perfect for this time of year  

I wasn’t planning on visiting a specialist tea shop but I might need to add it to my weekend gallivant.
