White heather

MrM has planted a white heather at the top of the garden. It reminded me of when I was first married and gypsies used to knock on the door selling pegs and white heather. Does anyone remember that? Anyway a woman knocked on the door and I didn’t want to buy anything. We had no spare money in those days. The outcome was that she said she would put a curse on me. I could hear her when I shut the door. I’m not superstitious but it wasn’t very nice.
