Mid afternoon.I sat on the verandah with my Larkins and wondered about a Landrover that either was adorned with a wedding favour, or had been in the hedge.

Late afternoon after a busy day.I sat vacantly in the verandah.
Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | At first I wasn't too sure:seems much hoppier than last time,but then a burst of summer herbs. Different,less toffee, but still Larkins. |
