Brian gets a new mate!!


Brian grows wheatgrass in Roumelia Lane, Boscombe his company is called Dorset Wheatgrass Company.
He went to the Boscombe Wholefood Co-op and bought some Yerba Mate tea. Yerba Mate Tea is traditionally drunk in South America. This is what the website says about it.....
Mate is more than just good for the body; it's good for the soul. Drinking it can be a form of meditation or reflection - allowing the goodness to infuse into the body while stimulating and resting the mind. But this wholeness does not always happen alone.
In traditional Mate use, the cup is often shared among close friends and family - using the same straw, or bombilla. Reminiscent of the kind of closeness written about in Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," where the characters become "water brothers" or "water sisters" when they drank from the same cup one after the other, those who share the Mate cup join in a kind of bond where the sharing of the health and meditation of the Yerba Mate is a sign of total acceptance and friendship.
So, Brian asked..'if I drink this will I get friends to drink it with?'
Brian took his Yerba Mate home and made himself a drink....while he was waiting for it to brew he joined Facebook....within 4 days Brian's got 400 friends. You can become one of Brian's friends too if you can find him on Facebook!!!
The Boscombe Wholefood Co-op has moved to 3 Ashley Road, Boscombe where it has evolved into funky wholefood and eco-store 'Urban-Evolution' Residents of Boscombe can still join the old co-op scheme, ask for details in the store!
