On some surplus bricks I arranged flower pots containing herbs. Even after last year's severe winter, the herbs survived, because so well sheltered, and the little path, bordered by a narrow bed on the other side, has become full of interest through out the year.<br /><br />Lucy Crottin is of course a small goat cheese as well as the dropping of a small animal. <br />According to Collins Robert Ma petite crotte is a term of affection which it translates as "my little sausage". It also offers "crotte de chocolat".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-12751648162613916992011-09-11T07:19:08.177+01:002011-09-11T07:19:08.177+01:00Knowing your garden, somewhat, I am enormously imp...Knowing your garden, somewhat, I am enormously impressed by the way you, or Nature, or le Grand Seigneur have turned (please advise on the appropriate verb form here) it into a mystery.
