It's nice to have increasing warmth to look forward too. I thought the sprigs were heather to start with, but the smell of the while thyme is very distinctive. I wonder if you have a recipe for it?Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542985048406828693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-73093668797275327782015-06-19T21:33:11.561+12:002015-06-19T21:33:11.561+12:00How lovely to receive the wild thyme in the mail. ...How lovely to receive the wild thyme in the mail. At first I thought it was lavender. I'm sorry to hear your friend is having treatment. I do hope she makes a full recovery.

In winter when the days are dark and short I prefer to embroider and making it I'm thinking about all. You have your courses, it's good too. We're in a very light month: June is the time of "White nights" here. There is half an hour between sunset and sunrise.

I must remember that. When our Katy was in post graduate studies in California, she wrote saying how much she missed autumn and the leaves. I mentioned it to some friends over coffee - and they proceeded to send her leaves. <br /><br />I enjoy reading your newsletters; how nice to have them on your posts here. :)Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-5831231455097349552015-06-18T09:45:55.166+12:002015-06-18T09:45:55.166+12:00* Gallivanta, Thank you.
