Healing

Betty and Barney Rubble came to visit. They are off to Portugal later in the week, so it was nice to see them before they left. As the weather was so nice we sat out on the deck consuming tea and coffee and putting the world to rights until it came time to head out for lunch.

Again, we had chosen "Liming" in Worthing as our preferred purveyor of fine Mexican cuisine and again were not disappointed. (Though the Gorse Fox suggests that it may have contributed significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere; he does like refried beans).

After lunch the plan included a visit to a garden that was open as part of the National Garden Scheme. This "Healing Garden" was dedicated to herbs - and was certainly a labour of love for the owners. It was also clear that they had collected a great deal of money for charity as a result of the scheme. The Gorse Fox was however somewhat underwhelmed. He is sure it was of great interest to herbalists - but in the grand table of gardens he has visited and wanted to photograph it was not challenging for the play-offs!
