Herbs

This morning was beautifully warm with a gentle breeze. Merlin and I enjoyed a walk to the allotment to water some of the seedlings I’ve planted over the last few weeks. Then I picked some herbs - rosemary, sage and thyme - to dry in the sunshine and save to use later in the year. The marjoram and oregano are in flower and look stunning with all their tiny white and purple flowers.

Merlin waited patiently for me so afterwards I took him to the stream to cool off and then up to a shady spot in the recreation ground where he enjoyed a few fresh blackberries plucked straight from the hedgerow.

This afternoon I’ve been watching the tennis and attending my yoga class. Merlin’s had another walk, with Andy, and is now conked out asleep.

Wishing you a good evening.
