Coloured scarves. Floaty scarves. Thick woolly scarves. Scarves with patterns. Oblong scarves, triangular scarves, long scarves with tassels at the ends. I love scarves!

Sage is just one of hundreds of different herbs. I like herbs. You can use them in all sorts of dishes. I would like to have a herb garden with every kind of herb there is.

He was a charmer. He bought her flowers and took her out to dinner, but all the time he was cheating. She picked her Sheltland sweater up off the floor as she realised that all the time, he had just been pulling the wool over her eyes.
