    Thanks fidgetbones, I looked it up on Google and I’m certain you’re correct. Apparently as a herbal remedy it was thought to cure stitches in the side when you’ve been running…I’m far too old for that sort of stitch😀

    I agree. Lots in Norfolk too.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Used to love popping the seed pods when we were children. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
