Tea For Mrs Tiggywinkle?

echinaceaThis is echinacea – a pretty flower, which herbalists believe can help reduce the duration of colds and flu.

Suffering with a heavy cold, and having been sent a voucher by that nice Mr Twining, I thought I’d buy some teabags

It was already half price, so I got a real bargain.

I do not normally like fruit teas but I just fancied these, and 65p didn’t seem too much of an extravagance. I really like them!

Bob came home and said “What are you drinking?” “Echinacea Tea” “Isn’t that a sort of hedgehog?” “No darling, that’s an echidna!”

I shall definitely call it Hedgehog Tea from now on!

  2. I take echinacea tincture (well I did when I got up with time to spare in the mornings) in order to ward off colds. Must do, must do!!x

  3. That's a serendipity joining there! I put Echinacea drops in orange juice as soon as anyone in the house so much as sneezes. For me, you understand!
