Neals Yard Remedies Cook Brew and Blend your own Herbs

Today I had the second of two classes at the City Lit on "Declutter your life". Got rid of a carrier bag-full in the bin, the chance of another to the charity shop, but it has not had as much effect as I had wanted. Hopefully things will work through and more will go!

Rather than go to the scrum outside Holborn tube station, the nearest, in the rush hour, I walked to Oxford Circus, popping into Neals Yard on the way to get some vervain. Dangerous shop for my purse! Ended up also getting an expensive moisturiser (though big reduction) and a book "Cook Brew and Blend your Own Herbs".

Lovely, clear pictures of the herbs, giving parts used, main constituents, actions, how to use, how to source and cautions, recipe choosers by 10 common health concerns, then recipes for healing from the inside and then the outside.

Lovely book! And it will hopefully replace an old Marks & Spencers herb book I have kept as it had the best herb pictures in.
