IF we had visitors and they were able to, I'd ask for roses.

They do magazines every fortnight for both peppa pig and Charlie and Lola. Ours gets them shipped out. They are both pretty cute with loads of things to do in them. They also do Charlie and Lola stickers books and "my big book of sticking and doing". We recorded all the Charlie and Lola's from Nick Jnr at about 2am every day.

PG Tips?They are horrible, you can buy Twinings Tea here, loose leaf and bags. I'd get Fry's chocolate creme, M & S chocolate gingers, and any other kind of M & S food that wouldn't spoil on the plane. I have ordered some in the past which was a great treat cos it costs a fortune.

I guess everyone's taste in tea is different. Over the years I've tried to like Twinings (for some reason the brand is widely distributed here..) but I've always found their varieties tasteless, insipid, generally undrinkable.

Oh yes, I agree! I find Twinings weak. You can't beat the taste from PG Tips' tetrahedon teabag, LOL!

However, I've given up on finding PG Tips over here in the States--just too expensive. I make do with Trader Joe's Irish Breakfast teabags in the green box. (Not the British Breakfast, but the Irish; they're stronger.) The teabag isn't any special shape, but they do nicely in my pot.

I quite like the Yorkshire Gold teabags, I stock up when we go to the big city. (can't buy them around here.)

Hmm do you mean as in NYC big city, or just an ordinary city? I don't think I've noticed Yorkshire Gold teabags near me in CT . . .

For us the Big City is Burlington, VT... a mere 130 miles from here. (A matter of perspective, I realise that not everyone would consider Burlington a big city!)

I know you can and just like some amazing teas you can get from Teavana, they just aren't worth the silly cost to me though.

I like PG Tips....I like Tetleys too, not actually all that bothered really, but then my mother was about to 1000 PG Tips for a fiver so I'm not going to complain about what she brings.

They are quick, easy and convenient aren't they...and as I'm the only one in the place that drinks tea, I really can't be bothered with loose tea leaves and a pot, even though I've got a nice Bodum teapot.
