    I’m so pleased you mentioned how important it is to save plenty for the bees. ❤❤

    I usually pretty "no judgement" about clothing, but the fact is that you did allow those trousers into your life.

    I've often used the leaves of dandelions in salads but never the flowers. But that is going to change. I fancy making an iced dandelion tea. I may alo dry some for the winter too. Thankyou again for lots of inspiration! Have a good week.x

    Your Dandelions are different than ours here in the US.
    Ours are the ones you blow on and make wishes.
    Was wondering how you were going to put the "flowers" on things, not to mention even washing them, without them blowing away 😂
    How about a mini recipe book on your "fizzy" drink and other things ???...❤
