Instalment One Hundred and Seventy Six

Life wasn’t actually very sweet in the Land of Milk and Honey, not unless you had a connection in the neighbouring Kingdom, the Realm of Tea and Toast.

You see there’s only so far your economy can get with the ingredients of Sleepytime Nap Drink, it doesn’t make for a productive workforce.

The two lands, once such fine friends and natural partners had become bitter rivals, forever competing for the lucrative weekend-getaway tourist dollar.

The Queen of Tea and Toast knew she too had been damaged by the long embargo, dry bread and black tea does not make for glowing accommodation reviews online.

Like all wars it, it was not a matter of wining but trying to lose less the longest, until one day they were united by a common enemy.

Raiders from the new world, the Cult of Coffee and Cake came calling.

The Queen’s emissaries, Earl and Lady Grey were sent to a brokering with Milk and Honey with a message of armistice.

“Our land must join together or our cultures will perish.”

And so the two lands came together and the new nation of Continental Breakfast was born and visitors were mildly sated but wished for bacon.
