A SPECIAL TREAT – TEA WITH A HINT OF ANTS

The reason for yesterday's excitement is now clear – Wilson has been on-line and tracked down a special, authentic Costa Rican Anteater Delicacy, and that was what was in the package. 

He and Byron are presenting me with this as a thank-you for allowing Byron come to stay, and for feeding, entertaining and looking after him while he's here.

They spent quite a lot of time in the kitchen preparing this, but eventually they proudly presented me with a cup of: Tea With A Hint Of Ants.

Honestly, there was quite a lot more than just a hint of ants, but it was  such a kind gesture that I bravely drained my cup while giving every outward sign of great enjoyment – satisfied 'Mmmm' sounds and a lot of lip-smacking.

I can apparently keep the rest of the packet, although I might share it with Wilson.

Or save it for the next time Byron comes to stay…
