My husband still hasn't recovered from the horror (he can't imagine life without it) and keeps asking me if I'm fine ;-). <br /><br />Truthfully, once I got over a mad caffeine headache and my chagrin at having to ask for decaf coffee in restaurants and carry tea bags about, it's all been fine.

I won't tell you what my unreconstructed friends call herb tea - Pukka Love is my favourite which makes them laugh all the more, and like Peter Rabbit, chamomile sends me to sleep, even if I drink it in the day!
