Coffee!!
I wonder if there are others for whom this wonderful, wake-me-up-start-my-day beverage is important, and the time surrounding the drinking of it, sacrosanct?
Actually, the importance of this brew has grown very slowly over the years. This had to be the only way to start the day. Then came the value of the specific bean, and quite simply, no other bean would do. And, then...........the coffee maker - it was only the cafetiere that finally worked........that gave the perfect brew.......that sent the hello-day! smell wafting round the home...
Add the brown sugar, and milk, and there it is...ready to get you going, ready to give you the assurance that here was the perfect day, all gift-wrapped just for you....
