A quick photo of the Thyme that Mum and Dad bought Marie as a contribution to her herb garden while they were out and about on their travels. I have to confess, I thought of the pun/title first then realised I had to take the picture...
Its been grown inside, so we'll be keeping it on the window ledge(*) for a little bit until it warms up out there. I really need to get the broken glass on my greenhouse fixed...
(* assuming our cats don't take a liking to it...)

After the snow
I spent a couple of hours in the garden this morning tidying up some of the debris from last year and generally trying to get it ready for Spring. I suspect I'll pay for it with a stiff back tomorrow!
The highlight was definitely finding that the little clump of snowdrops we'd seen from the window was actually a lot larger once I'd cleared back the invasive evergreen that was trying to cover all of the border. Beautiful little flowers and a good sign Spring is on its way! Now to see what other bulbs the previous owner has planted....
[About the photo: shot in the early evening as the strong light earlier would have made correctly exposing a white flower something of a challenge. Low light levels meant a tripod though and waiting for the wind to die down...]
