Greetings from my wonderful capital. I've been out of the NX loop but am honored to contribute to this box. I've added some British stamps & some tea -- drink up!
The British contribution to NX was certainly been eccentric but those of us in the know hold Cicely in our hearts.

I would have loved to include some of the things we Southerners are known for -- but most all is perishable! Grits, trees, flowers of every kind (especially Azaleas) and out beautiful green countryside. Y'all will just have to come visit to see our beauty.
