I Set my Apartment on Fire!
October 4, 2009 –
No it was not some steamy session!, here is what happened. A kind Sir brought me a lovely bunch of lavender from his garden. It reminded me of France. I decided to let it dry out and kept it in a glass pot on the window sill. The other day, I was joyfully getting ready for Mr B to arrive. Mr B likes to come around for a nice dinner. Roast Lamb is his favourite, so roast lamb it was.
The food was cooking nicely, everything was prepared. I had had a lovely bath and pampering session and my next job was to light the candles. ‘Oh’ thought I, ‘Why dont I pop a little tea light in the bottom of the pot, where the lavender is?’. ‘Then, the beautiful aroma of the lavender will drift up with the tea light heat and that will be lovely’. Wont it?
Except that the dried out lavender caught alight and when I happened to walk into the living room, there was a mini fire on the window sill. Luckily, it hadnt caught the drapes. I was cool though, like the cucumber, and just threw a damp cloth over it and left it. Dippy, me? Not usually :). Oh just had a thought maybe I should have left it and called those handsome fire fighters out ;)
10 points to the reader who spots the connection of this story with the pic – the late but lovely Jim Morrison.

Roasting meat in lavender is a real speciality – outdoes King Alfred by a mile! Glad no harm came to you! Mr A
