Coffee and trip to England!

For those who think I may have become a coffee snob, I was well and truly exposed as a coffee pleb upon my visit to Forsyth's this week. I wanted to buy some freshly ground coffee, but realised not only was there over a dozen types, there are also a plethora of 'grinds' too. The conversation went a bit like this:
"Hi, I'd like some coffee please"

"Beans or ground?"
"Ground"
"And which coffee would you like?"
"Errrr...."
"Welll what kind of flavours do you like?"

"Errrr...." [spots the word 'Indian' on a label] "I think it was the Indian blend"
"That's not a blend."

 "Oh. Errr..."
"It's not blended - single bean."

"Right"
"It's very good though..." [monologue about aromas, flavours, strength, depth etc etc]
"Right, well that sounds fine then."

In other news - we've bought our flights at last! We will be arriving in London on the afternoon of Saturday 25th June and leaving on Monday 11th July; I'm working on the itinerary at the moment - I'm already very excited!
