Herb

Thursday, June 24

A relaxing time, excellent for blogging and rest. We headed out in the evening to attend a herb walk some distance into the Cotswolds. On the way, we stopped at a megalithic stone circle.

This alignmnent of rocks dates from 2500 BC. The other two groupings are of different ages. The water-eroded chunks reminded me of the Hill Country.

We call this “honeycomb” in Texas.

Other travelers had left wildflowers on the rocks. The place held good vibes for us.

After some more driving, we arrived at Herbs for Healing, Davina’s little business she founded on family land. She showed our small group around the garden plots.

Then, our hostess led us into a nearby strip preserve full of venerable plants.

We discovered yurts on the property and a cool fabric pavillion.

    tyvvm. I’m lovin’ every pause you take. Where will you arrange the megaliths on Linda Lane? You two look natural as you pose on/at your BIG rocks. I treasured this day – did you show us one day on this blog? Longer? Shorter? – for the diversity, rocks, herbs, yurts. Who could ask for more?
