That’s why I always call you young Albert

I learnt that lesson watching my parent's friends get very old very quickly at about 40 while mine just got older year after year

Gary lives in tropical Canada, he has admitted to hogging all the warm weather. I used to blame Clo but it’s all Gary's fault Well we know who to blame for our high heating bills

You have my sympathies. That would drive me crazy but it’s good to hear you are being looked after

It is supposed to be just a hint, like you would smell if you were walking in the bush. Not like a menthol/eucalypt cough lozenge

And I have spent way too much time trying to create a tea matching grid - it is very easy to get lost in an internet rabbit hole

Gary has admitted his guilt, I am so sorry Clo for suggesting it was you. My stern looks will now be directed to Canada and not France Funny you should mention that. I have been talking with my sister about that sort of thing. She is opening a kitchen shop and I made a few blends for her to sell. Busselton - a black tea and peppermint blend to drink after a morning surf. The chill ocean waters dripping off the muscular body of the surfer with his wetsuit half off… ummm that might be the inspiration or part of the marketing campaign Mindalong - naked black tea named after one of the nude beaches down south. This is a mellow tea grown in the tropics in Oz. Fremantle Doctor - my favourite herbal blend for summer, hibiscus, peppermint, lemon grass and lemon Myrtle. Tart but very refreshing. The Freo Doctor is what we call the afternoon sea breeze which cuts the summer heat of the day. It also turns the beaches into a sand storm And lastly Rottnest, home of the quokka, which is another herbal blend I made for a friend's birthday and proved popular. Chamomile and five other herbs for a late night cuppa. No caffeine I have also made a Billy Tea, black tea, a touch of lemon Myrtle and eucalyptus. Still working on that one.

Yes it’s the shocking truth, Gary is stealing the good weather

Christmas

Hello everyone It's hard to believe it is almost October, I was almost convinced by the warmer weather earlier in the week but it seems Clo is keeping the heat for at least another week - today has been cold, wet and windy. I blended a big batch of Christmas Tea today Black tea, nutmeg and cinnamon combined with dried mulberries for a bit of sweetness. It needs to sit for a couple of weeks before the packaging gets underway. So designing the labels is the next task and then I need to practice using the heat sealer

Hi there Spike I'm going to assume your comment about insane hypocrites was directed at a specific someone

Hello young Albert

Have a safe and pleasant trip

Hi there Gary

Hello young Albert

Hello Gary Just make sure you are looking after yourself… too much vacuuming can be a bad thing

How did you know that was the question on everyone’s mind?

I can hear Clo shouting Bingo

Supposed to be but not quite yet

If he is just looking then you have nothing to worry about. It's all the other stuff he told us that you should be concerned about

Hi Clo It's cold here, 5C minimums but the days are nice

Hey Gary

No squirrel exhibit at the Perth Zoo but plenty of squirrels. Some escaped and now are living free. They visit the local primary school and steal lunches.

Hi everyone

Hello young Albert
