Street seller of bay leaves and garlic18th century print by Delpech after an original by Vernet
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
A ghost from Christmas past and a tough way to make a living... I have a crop of garlic planted which is still green but I will dig some soon as it is good to use fresh. I have a small bay tree which is a plant I can't live without. Garlic and bay leaves , essential ingredients for a great meal and Christmas fare.
Life was tough in the past. It is still tough now... in a different way. Merry Christmas.
