Roman roads, rosemary and thyme

Last Tuesday’s walk started literally just down the road – a couple of hundred metres past the cemetery. Up the hills and among the vineyards. And a good picking day for some – a little bit of wild asparagus, and lots of rosemary and thyme everywhere.

And here’s the oldest walker in the group with the spoils of the afternoon. Wild asparagus omelette on Easter Sunday is traditional in this area, and Madame has the makings for hers, together with a bunch of rosemary.

And something I found pretty amazing was that for a short part of the walk we were actually walking on a Roman road!
