Thanks very much makshi, one of my favourites too :)
Some people don't like the aroma of the leaves, but I find it quite a clean and pleasant smell if not too concentrated. I had it next to my garden bench in the UK and the humming from the bees and the light smell of the leaves was very relaxing

You're quite right Gerris2 and I've moved to France since then...

Thanks marieortiz :)
