rhodri produces spearmint don't you know, as well as being a proper rock star in his own right. personally i've never really seen the fuss about spearmint, but if they're better live i may investigate in the near impossible likelihood of them coming anywhere near lincolnshire...

well maybe i'll just wait to leave lincolnshire and - gosh - into civilisation once more. am counting down the months!
