"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows..."

Summer is finally upon us, and the thyme is fragrant as we walk through the fields and meadows above the valley.

Wild Mountain Thyme growing around the Lac du Gaube


"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, 
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, 
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine, 
With sweet musk-roses, 
and with eglantine" 

Oberon, King of the Fairies - A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. Act 2, Scene 1
