oh Arthur, – it’s all comfort food and carats – with a bit of soothing witchhazel thrown in- I challenge you – how do you drink iced drinks in the middle of the winter – the only people who I have ever seen enjoy iced things in the winter are the Russians who despite -20 degrees outside LOVE their icecream!

Oh! Something about cold coffee makes it taste so much better than hot coffee. But then I prefer apple juice at room temp! Strange. And I am German, Irish, and maybe a little Jewish.

I used to dig and collect rocks and minerals and would have loved to have found that crystal! I like that street art and can’t wait to see some crocus.

Yes, they can be shades of yellow or orange and there is on variety with purple flowers. Very fragrant.

I assume it’s a winter flowering plant then? If some, seems a good choice for my garden to give me colour at this time of year.

Yes. Along with Wintersweet and Winter Honeysuckle are great winter flowering plants here in North Carolina.

I guess they would work for me in the north of England then. Sounds good!
