Oh what a busy Sherbet sheep I am , I must tell you all that when you do not see me here for a while it means that I am very, very busy and do not even have time to think of writing my stories. I have missed you all though, my dear friends from nearby and far far away. As you can see I am here now sitting in my garden at Clover Cottage. It has been raining here very heavily which I am happy about as my garden has sprouted lots of new leaves and my plants and herbs have revived in a most miraculous way. I have been eating lots of herbs lately. I love to pick huge bunches of them to put in my omelette every morning. Oh what fun it is to go out into my garden in the early morning sunshine and come back into my cosy kitchen with a huge bunch of mixed herbs, I have Rosemary. Tarragon, 2 types of Thyme , 3 types of Basil, a minty thing that is very minty but not just normal mint , Rucola and Marjoram. I chop them all up together with some spring onions for my omelette which by the way turns a delightful shade of green when loaded down with all of those herbs.
I was a little bit worried that they may taste bitter in my omelette but they did not , they just taste herby !
Herbs are very good for me and I want to plant more and more and more again. I want them to grow into great big bushes so that I never run out of them.
Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet's herb garden
A cheery hello to everyone out there. It is a lovely morning here
in my amazing garden. Doodle, Mango and Pearl all stayed at my
cottage last night after eating our lovely, healthy vegetable dinner. We
are all feeling very tired after all of our hard work yesterday so we
are having a quiet, restful day. Today, Mango and I picked some
herbs from my herb garden. We all like to put fresh herbs in our
cooking and our salads and we also make lovely refreshing hot tea with
them too. We picked a nice basketful of herbs so there is enough to share. I will divide them up into separate paper bags for Mango, Pearl and Doodle to take home with them. The herbs are growing very well in my garden, they are really growing
too well as in some places they are taking over! The Mint is the
naughtiest as it has escaped its' herb garden borders and has started
to spread itself all around the cabbage. The Rosemary has grown into a
huge fragrant bush and everytime I pass it, I breathe in it's unique
perfume and it fills me with joy. We picked a lovely selection of
herbs to use in our recipes, Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Mint, Sage and
Parsley. Can you recognise any of them in my picture?
