What's that sound you hear? Deafening silence? No actually it's the sound of my sniveling and wallowing in self pity. Up to my armpits in tissues I am. The dreaded lurgy has struck me and I haven't been feeling all too chipper (hence the blogging silence, apologies).
This time last year when I was sick in a similar fashion I guzzled T2's lemon and ginger tea like it was nobody's business whilst working at the gallery. Somebody remind me to get the flu jab next year.
Nowadays I've been making my own herbal remedy. Some crushed ginger, squeeze of lemon, a few sage leaves from the garden and a dash of apple cider vinegar makes one mean lurgy-busting tea. I am currently the guardian of Mr M's mum's prized mortar and pestle, for safe keeping whilst they move. Perfect for pounding out some ginger and sage.

Hope you feel better soon Emma!
Olive Leaf extract.
I keep a little spray bottle in my handbag and if anyone even sniffles near me I give myself a squirt.
I'll probably dread writing this but so far so good - no lurgies despite them surrounding me.
Hoping that you're feeling A1 soon.

PS: Homemade chicken soup with heaps of ginger, garlic and chilli is always a great booster for an sniffly system.
Oh the dreaded sniffles. Honey and lemon in tea always works for me....and a few days in bed. X
Feel better!
