Thank ewe to Wonky & the bells

During that same period of Lent, the lack of sugar gave me an opportunity to consider a nuanced set of sweet-as things in my life, for which I am extremely thankful. Here are two that made the bucket-list:

(i) Bluebells – Hyacinthoides non-scripta

One of the bluebell carpets at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew.

(ii) Lambs – Ovis aries (and ours in particular)

This one was a particular favourite of our family amongst this year’s newcomers to the Hollyhock Flock, and affectionately named Wonky because of his endearing asymmetrical face. Wonky will see the winter through, and unknowingly make our table all the richer next year.
