Yes you heard right! Wanting to make new friends in town I joined meet up. I agreed to meet with "strangers" at a lovely place called www.tea-money.com the weird this is I really had to motivate myself to go. I was invited to a friends place for coffee prior to the tea meet up, boy was I tempted to just stay there. I know when the soul goes against our resistance that is usually when you need to work a little harder and get past it!
I arrived went over to a busy table and said, "is this the meet up table?" ok I was in the right place. I sat down and started reading the menu, I then got up and went to counter to order. I had my nose buried in the menu, when I heard this voice say "what can I get you my love" I looked up and was just about to say...when he said "wait I know, rooibos." I replied "how did you know" he replied, so which part of SA are you from I said Cape Town. He said me too, which part? Then he opened a tin of rooibos rose hip tea and I was sold......we chatted for a while, (as saffers do) well by the time I sat down he had my number. Jayson is his name. I continued chatting
away and got to know the meet up group. As I was leaving he reached over the counter to give me a hug. Anytime you want to pop in I am here except Tuesdays and Thursdays! A bit later I got a text .... We should go for a drink sometime! Now that is what I miss about home!
