Ginger Tea

In the morning we have tea, usually some type of green tea, with ginger added. Ginger's good for blood circulation (and blood pressure) as well as upset tummies, and my body finds it an agreeable way to start the day. My mother is not fond of ginger in her tea, but has found that a light dusting of cinnamon makes it more than acceptable, and conveniently cinnamon has its own health benefits as well.

Fitzw usually makes the tea, along with breakfast. He's taken to coming into the room singing something about stirring the ginger in the tea or something related, to various tunes. Sometimes they work out, sometimes not so much, although the off results can be quite funny. This morning he sang about tea to the opening measures of Sicut Cervus :)

Flowers, jewelry, or fancy dinners can be quite nice and I do appreciate them, but real romance doesn't need props ;)

"real romance doesn't need props ;)"

What a lovely sentiment. I wish a lot more people felt that way.

Love to you both.
