Sisters! Dear villagers,

I need your help once more, I implore you to read on.........

There is great unrest abroad near my own Chateau in France. The altercations coming so close to families with whom I am acquainted. Sadly also many of our fellow English lives are in great peril. We have had to resort to alternative ways to communicate across the waters. My dear brother Mr Launcelot Penn, has thought of a way of helping me to aid my fellow countrymen. Thus through his London conexions - we contrive new secret ways to convey a series of messages that go unrecognized upon a courier or secreted within a lady's document folder, that will not attract attention due to its feminine appearance.

Will you kindly aid us further in the making of secret message communications? The border guards are ignorant to our cause when checking our papers. We have word that some have already been presented to the apartments to her majesty Marie Antoinette herself! Are you prepared to continue or begin upon a journey of intrigue? Are you willing to secretly create attractive concoctions of very commonplace subjects, into clever frippery for feminine appeal?

The reward will be great to our cause. Sisters and Brothers.

I beseech your aid in this campaign to get our communications abroad with great haste.

Ever gratefully in your service,

Miss Gwendolyn Evangeline Penn visiting for a further 3 month at "The Chestnuts" Amberleigh


THE SWAP:

So to recap ---THIS IS AN EMAIL SWAP - instructions take a pair of used Twinings opened up tea bags x 2 or its equivalent 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 see through papers
...............enjoy your cuppa, if you want deeply stained pages, eg, herbal fruity blends for a pink page or turmeric tea yellow paper, then leave the used teabag to sit for longer to dry out a bit and then prepare them ready for we have a particular tea theme to play with this month...for now the intrigue begins....

As always if you would like any further information, please contact - Jane - Star7Lily -
