You'd be very welcome to visit. Just let me know when and I'll make sure I'm out.
In other news, most of the lemon drizzle cake has mysteriously disappeared. I wonder where that went?

You'd be hard put to find a butler these days apart from the royal family I suppose. How times change.

I've been Back of the cupboard food collecting again.
Four packets of Oreos, a jar of Butterscotch sauce, cream crackers, some other cheese crackers, dark chocolate, olive grissini and, the items I really wanted, Two tins of Greek Mountain tea. (Calm yourself, JJB. 
). I've seen the little old ladies in Greece, especially Crete, scouring the hillsides for these plants (Sidaritis scardica). They'd hang them up to dry outside their houses and sell the bunches at the market. The tea that I brought home with me is almost finished, so these freebies have arrived just in time.
I may look for seeds in the tea, and see if I can grow it. Failing that, Chiltern sell the seeds.
Also, picked up a wooden raised bed (in pieces). Its about 3' square, I think. Not sure yet, where I'll put it.
