Herbs

We had a weekend in Cambridge (a displaced half-yearly get-together, which was really good), and popped in to our old garden centre on the way home. As well as admiring Christmas trees, and finding one decoration we liked (very restrained), we also picked up a second pair of loppers (on offer; we thought they'd come in handy clearing the hillside), and a load of end-of-season herbaceous plants. That included an aquilegia, some bronze fennel, some variegated thymes ('Foxley'), and a pair of white rosemaries (Rosmarinus officinalis var. albus).

They don't have an immediate home: the herbs will be grown on, for the future herb garden. A couple of the thymes might go in the front garden wall, that said, before layering them for more plants.

Not much to report, therein: the weekend was lovely, with much food and games, but no photos. We're at home next weekend, and will probably put up the Christmas decorations, as well as trying one of the hams we cured earlier in the autumn.
