Have been thinking of an alternate history for tea. What if Anna Maria Russell and Robert Fortune were actually lovers? Maybe Robert was sent to China as more of a banishment because of his liason that worked out well for the East India Company?
Okay, I know he’s 30 years older than her, but still, with a some creative license, we might be ready for something like this. After all, @lazyliteratus recently spun a yarn with Robert being seduced by a dragon-riding, 800-year-old sensual temptress. Found an awesome series of photos at a stock photo site that would do well to illustrate it too. Who knows, with a little creative license, I might be on to something….
What if Anna looked like that?

I like where your head’s at, @Peter. And considering they made Queen Elizabeth look young in the movie “Golden Age” (when – in actuality – she was, like, *SIXTY* during the time of the Spanish armada)…creative license is authorized.
I think that @thedevotea would make a suitable Robert Fortune (all fired up, determined to find some decent tea at last) and Anna could be, uhm…well, I don’t know… any takers?
Anyone? Anyone at all?
No, @thedevotea already has a role, he is Charles 2nd Earl Grey.
Gosh it is @lahikmajoe .Exactly how he looked when we saw him in Munich.
And the picture – it was taken on one of those devilish days in ”Poing”
That’s an insider joke
Before I ate all that cheese maybe…
You all are so special. Thanks for the chuckle this morning
