We used to have a lovely clump of this delightful wild flower in the garden, much loved by bees. In fact it's a relative of borage and like that produces prodigious amounts of nectar. Then Dave went and inadvertently dug it up. I bought some plug plants last year but a little late but they've weathered the winter and are starting to bloom 🙂
Thanks for all your good wishes after yesterday's positive result. Full-on cold symptoms today so spent the day alternating between isolating in the bedroom with windows open and sitting outside under the umbrella - very hot today - travelling through the house masked up, trailing anti-bac wipes, in an attempt to limit the spread of the virus. Heard that Chris who was also at the party has tested positive and K though negative isn't feeling great.
3 good things
1. Waking early at 6, making myself a hot Lemsip and watching the tits flit in and out of the trees opposite.
2. Raw garlic crushed on everything - toast, salad - a natural antiviral. Ok maybe not so good for anyone in my vicinity even when masked!
3. Having not had a cold in 2.5 years, finally getting to use up the past their best cold remedies in the cupboard: Lemsip Max, Olbas pastilles and Jakeman's menthol aniseed lozenges.
Beautiful flower! I am so sorry to hear that you have tested positive. Raw garlic is so good for so many reasons. I do hope you are feeling better soon.
