At Fred's funeral I had some rosemary plants on the tables for people take home as you may recall and there were a couple of collecting boxes for the local carers support group should they wish to make a donation.

Of course, the donation boxes were left in a shopping bag at home and forgotten. Well, TWO years on, I finally took them to their office and, when they were opened, they were found to contain £61,50 which the group need very badly now.

Two years, where has that time gone, I was thinking one year. Good amount of money for the carers support group Sharron.

Most of the time has gone on riotous living, as did the other fifty grand in the collecting tins.

.......and the rosemary plant is flourishing...

We've used a couple of sprigs for flavouring, but I'm leaving it to grow more before I use alot.

.....Rosemary is not only for remembrance, it apparently helps the memory.

Ironic really :-D

Good news Sharron. Your local carers group must be pleased. They will also remember you and Fred when they receive the money.

I wonder how all the other sprigs are doing. Well, I hope.

A great idea. Well done.
