Down among the Dead Men

Meadow Saxifrage, Saxifraga granulata in Earlham Cemetery this morning before the rain set in. Also before a Norwich blipmeet with Rosiecatwoman who is very much alive! We shared a cuppa and a chat ... I was introduced to Russian Caravan tea, very nice. Hopefully next time it will be dry outside and I can explore the lush, close planted garden properly.

btw wiki tells me that Russian Caravan is a blend of oolong, keemun, and lapsang souchong teas, all produced from Camellia sinensis the Chinese tea plant. It is described as an aromatic and full-bodied tea with a sweet, malty taste. Although a Chinese tea, its name originates from the 18th century camel caravans that facilitated the transcontinental tea trade from tea-producing areas (namely India, Ceylon and China) to Europe via Russia. It took at least half a year to make the six-thousand-mile journey from the Chinese border to Russia.
