I only wanted to help in the gardens as I saw Kate doing at the weekend.  They had kindly left the door open this morning so that Daisy and I could enjoy the spring sunshine.  I had a close look at one of the pots. I thought there was parsley growing in it, but I’m not very good at plant identification. I find the best thing to do is have a good dig, get the plant out by the root, chew it to pieces and check the flavour.  I was right, it was parsley.  Afterwards I did notice that there was a lot of soil all over the paving. Very messy.  Someone really should clear that up.

Later I tried to sneak a shell from the top of another pot into the house so that I could chew it in the comfort of my bed, but I was spotted and my cunning plan was foiled.
