New potatoes and mint

No, it's not a thing of the 50's :-) We still have it :-)

It's the herb Mint, not the sweet mint

Here's a recipe - beautiful with Lamb

Rugby? Who wants to go to Rugby? :D

Where's GraysonKelly, worried about her clothes? 100 miles in bomber jacket or cardigan, scarf and penny loafers. ;)

That looked like a LAW armband @ 4:34. :confused: Looked like only the one guy was putting it on. Is this an international expedition, I wonder? Or was/is there a sister organization with a near-identical logo?
