Re: Hello
Hello and Welcome!

I come from Scotland and I really miss a good old cuppa too! I brought a huge amount of teabags with me when we moved over in November, but I can not get a proper brew!!

Enjoy!

Re: Hello
Hi, from a fellow Fribourg inhabitant - in what part of Fribourg are you - city or kanton? I'm originally from south of the border (Watford Gap), but I guess we all are now.
