Now he does and loved it... I didn't tell him about the bit where they do 'extractions'... I didn't want to ruin the 'experience'!

Green tea and chocolate - what a mix!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I adore green tea - any kind, and since I have started to drink it more and more every day. I actually have quite a collection that I rotate daily just to keep things interesting. Perhaps because i'm no longer having caffeine I do adore my chocolate. Just a little so I don't ruin the goodness of the tea but still, it's a magic combination - day and night!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">These are just about the last two hydrangeas in my garden. Things are starting to get cooler in Sydney and my darling flowers are starting to hide away. I'm not sure how I can manage to get mauve and pink on the one flower. It's pretty nonetheless!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Have a great week!
