I WOKE up at 5am and went into the garden and found what real workers look like.

The flowering lavender bush was full of them, gathering the needs of their family in the hive for yet another day while I’m attracted to its scent.

I pick a few flowers and put them in my pocket which I pull out and smell for pleasure or to help though any stressful periods of the day.

The scent of the flowers in the pocket last for days.
