We rejoice in the pretty kainth (wild pear) and glorious flowering cherry that fill our fields with blossom, that some trees have survived the local winter sport of cutting down trees not regarded as useful with modern chainsaws. Our staff are busy plucking the plantain which also fills the fields before it too is removed by the farmers. Azad makes it into a wonderfully soothing cough linctus with bay leaf and natural brown sugar.
