I know its crazy but when I got to the counter I met a kindred spirit. I soon recognised a fellow SP connoisseur and we started to discuss our shared Slush Puppie passion. She spoke of the dangers of Slush Puppie when you drink it too quickly and get head freeze. The joy of Slush Puppie when you get someone preparing who is heavy on the syrup and then we got on to flavours.
If you had told me before I reached that counter that I would have come away with grape I would never have believed you. Before I have been a strict devotee to raspberry with the very occasional dabble with cola but grape, never. It was a bit leap for me to put my trust in this individual who was recommending grape but I had to try it. We also discussed mango flavour but neither of us were getting drawn into that. Mango just doesn’t work as a Slush Puppie flavour.
So I went for it and ordered the grape. What a decision. It was amazing. Not as good as raspberry, but nothing ever could be. It was as good if not better than cola though and it was great to try something new. I felt on top of the world. The grape flavour really did deliver.
After a quick review with my new Slush Puppie friend I returned to my table with a spring in my step. As I walked away I wanted to share some special Slush Puppie Club handshake, swap email addresses and perhaps organise some sort of future Slush Puppie appreciation event but I was just lost in the joy of grape.
A happy happy day.

Haha, that sounds incredible!!! We are not yet sure what we are doing yet after end of may. We are in Oz until end March then head back to NZ for 7 weeks or so. But then we are either going to head across to S America (and if so, we will definitely come and find you!!!) or head up through Asia – northern India, Nepal, Tibet etc. through China and Russia. Decisions decisions!!
Sadly I am neither a qualified yoga instructor nor a dive master, but I do love both so happy to partake in activities and undergo classes by way of interview of potential instructors!! We are both really well. I was just thinking the other day how much I really want to see you soon!!!!! Miss you Pickles!! xxx
