Did you know that Charles 11’s Portuguese queen, Catherine Braganza, had grown up with a taste for tea, so it became fashionable in Britain.
This was made possible by the East India Company, which, in 1664, placed its first order for China tea to be shipped from Java.

I am a mum and wife to a lovely caring family. I’ve suffered with chronic back pain for over 30 years and started writing my first blog in 2007 which covered back and chronic pain. Since then I have written many more blogs for myself and customers. I find it takes me away from my pain to another place. I love it so much I think it should be part of a recovery process after illness or surgery. I hope you enjoy reading through my blogs.
