Thanks for dropping by my blog (can't imagine how you stumbled over there, maybe you were blog-surfing).

Great top 100 list-- I need to get around to doing my own. Are the cartoons your own? They're brilliant!

Caroline B. said...

Sam said...

One of the best 100+ things lists I've seen, and I get around. Old Horsetail Snake had a post about your site, I'm liking it, but probably not as much as you like tea. How about as much as I like tea?

Zen said...

Pat said...

Really enjoyed reading your 100 and it was an added bonus the original spelling. We share the same blog design. I do think you should have a look at the Lake District and don't completely write off dark chocolate . I have scorned it for years and now allow myself 4 squares a night.

Ha! That was hilarious. I especially liked the parts about sheep dying suddenly and not owning a phone and having non-linear conversations. Ha! (Circular comment)
