Sounds like tea may be what gets me through! I am actually very pro the healing effects of just sitting down and having a cup of tea let alone any additional healing qualities.

Unfortunately DP is very anti "mumbo jumbo" of NPs and the like but I have managed to get him to drink chamomile tea at work now which his secretary says helps his stress levels! Maybe I can get one for him to drink that will help his swimmers.

I will be close enough to Erina for the long weekend - I think that I will have to pop in and see the lady at the tea shop, all I have to do is work out a vaguely believable story for the inlaws as to why I want to go shopping
