A special cheer to @benechik.bsky.social my first cup of the coffee she sent me for #MWSecretSantaAoNZ. I kept it until today as a birthday treat, served in my birthday present mug!

I love everything so much!!! I ran my own cafe a lifetime ago before my kids were born. And and also still use some of the recipes from them. For me the impressive recipe in there is the strudel. That’s next level pastry!

As I now look even more carefully at the gifts I received I’m all choked up. I’ve been on a benefit and on my own since my separation two years ago. I love this sort of coffee. Natural process and small estate grown. I haven’t been able to afford this for over a year. So special
