Lemon and honey

Lemon trees grow happily next to kumquats

lemons on the tree

the lemon flower has a sweet perfume

Isn't it funny 

How a bear 

Likes honey

Buzz buzz buzz

I wonder why he does.

Winnie- the-Pooh

Today I was sitting next to a lemon tree and revelling in breathing in the sweet perfume of it's flowers. There was a Peter,Paul and Mary song called Lemon tree which warned of the dangers of love, likening it to the Lemon Tree.

It went like this:

When I was just a lad of ten

My father said to me

Come here and take a lesson

From the lovely lemon tree.

Don't put your faith in love my son

My father said to me

For love you'll find is often like

The lovely lemon tree.

Lemon tree very pretty

And the lemon flower is sweet

But the fruit of the poor lemon

Is impossible to eat

One day beneath the lemon tree

My love and I did lie

A girl so sweet that when she smiled

The stars rose in the sky

We passed the summer lost in love

Beneath the lemon tree

The music of her laughter

Hid my father's words from me

Chorus

She left me for another

It's a common tale but true

A sadder man but wiser now

I sing my song to you

Now my father would never have said that. If you put lots of honey in lemon juice it really does you good. You need them both. Honey and lemon juice together. Works wonders. Honey on its own, too sweet, lemon juice , too sharp, put them together - perfect ! Like men and women.

Different types of honey

Make Winnie- the- Pooh lemonade by dissolving honey in a small amount of hot water and then adding lemon juice , lots of cold water and ice for Summer, more hot  water for Winter.

Lemon and honey for love and health.
