Most summer days, Bond found Q on the MI6 building’s balcony where he tended his crop of herbs.
Basil.
Dill.
Thyme.
Oregano.
Rosemary….
Q snipped some fresh herbs and tossed them into a small plastic bag to bring home.
He added more soil and plunged his fingers into the dark earth, tamping it down.
A mist of water, occasionally supplemented with nutrients, finished his task off.
It was a lovely way to spend a short break away from the bullpen.
Bond smiled and watched.
The windowsill herb garden proved to be a lovely gift for the MI6 Secret Santa exchange.
