By the way, I had saved this from a post in a northern winter, so I would understand if you wait til winter comes around again.<BR/><BR/>thanks Edward - kind words and much appreciated after I struggled to say more than dark, depths, dark, depths :-)<BR/><BR/>thanks Ann - you are right about coffee but I can't stand the taste - I have found the Australia's ground wattleseeds make a palatable substitute for meJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-65356886467238895142008-06-19T22:02:00.000+10:002008-06-19T22:02:00.000+10:00I adore your post title!
