Beyond The Garden,..glengarry23.

What a lovely walk, Philip ... another Magical Mystery Tour! Thank you for sharing.

 

No rain yesterday.

Watermint 'Mentha aquatia'






Cookoo-Flower/Lady's Smock 'Cardamine pratensis'





The sides of this road started with Dandelions,..now its changed to Buttercups.












Woof ?,..there's nobody behind the camera?,..the old guy looks spaced

 

Can you make tea with that mint Philip? I have Mint tea for breakfast then Ear Grey in the afternoon. Love that last photo.

 

Hi Victoria,..i took some of that Mint home some years back,..it grows well in a pot,..must be in a pot and prevents it from spreading,..tastes very nice in a tea or when cooking veg or a stew.

Lol the camera was set to take an image in 30 seconds but i was just lucky to get in position in that time,..i was almost finished my walk just then,..approx a 6 mile trek is usual

The little poser was interested in the camera beeping

 

I love mint ... tea, sweets (mint & licorice is nice). lamb, peas, potatoes ...

I know it wouldn't grow here ... I've failed with both Common Mint and Spearmint but have a nice pot of Garlic Chives.

 

Six miles ! You must be fit ... Nice that you live in such a lovely area and the skies are fantastic.
Mentha aquatica grows here too but I didn't now you could make tea from it. I may try growing some, I have a few different mints in pots.

 

Victoria your making me hungry,..the alternative is Peppermint Chewing Gum,..imagine at aged 76 i can still chew gum and walk

I find my garden Mint loves water,..perhaps your climate is too dry,..well most of the time.

My sweet tooth loves Mars Bar

 

Hi Michael,..you honestly wouldn't feel walking far here as one is drawn to go further each time,..3 mile each way is easy enough,..i must be a glutton for punishment as i keep walking until i feel my leg muscles starting to act up then a short break and return.

I often add a few Mint leaf to my tea or when the warm weather comes added to ice water,..plus some kind lemonade.

 

I have Dentine (what's it called here ...Ice) Cinnamon flavoured.

Ha, ha, I have those and Snickers, the Peanut ones (but Aldi brand). I do like Bounty too. I treat myself to chocolate things, prefer salty snacks or any kind of nuts.

 

Oh, and I forgot Twix and Kit Kat for those sweet chocolate moments with tea ... 3 o'clockses.

 

Hi wiseowl,
Funny you should pop up just now as i was thinking of your images of Bluebells today when i captured the images of the Buttercups,..not to worry about the missing this thread,..its sort of off the beaten track so to speak,..i was looking for a quiet corner to start the thread plus the Cottage Garden one,..suddenly i have being exposed lol,..thanks for looking in and i do enjoy seeing your treks through the woods and elsewhere

 

Victoria at this early hour of the morning i am on Salted Peanuts and a glass of Shiraz,..bed time is not until about 0200 as usual,..i only need 5 hours sleep.

Gosh you do have a sweet tooth ,..its not too often i allow my sweet tooth to get the better of me but when i do its After Dinner Mints,..the entire box,..love dark chocolate as well,..but the Mars Bar is top of the list.

 

Oh, I don't eat these things all the time! I never eat desserts/afters, even when we go out. I really am a savoury person with an occasional sweet tooth.

 

Ah not all the time ,..me neither,..because i dont have sugar in my tea i miss the sugar,..so the odd binge on dark chocolate arrives,..i pretend i am shopping for a Grandchild at Easter when i buy a dark chocolate Easter Egg ,..as for savoury,..love all kinds be it Sushi of fish or meat,..costly up to 5 euro for six small pieces of Fish Sushi,..but mmmmmmmmh almost a sin to admit the taste
