A heath is an area of flattish, uncultivated land with low shrubs. Heath can also be used to describe those shrubs and is generally used for Erica or Calluna (types of heather).
As a child, we often visited Scotland for our holiday and I remember the heaths. I was even shorter then and used to graze the heather with my hand. Fond memories :)

Looks like a heath cliff in the distance!
ReplyDeleteHa! Just a little one. Maggie.
DeleteNow I'm hungry for a Heath candy bar.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of them, Alex.
Deleteha...didn't know we had heaths in Florida
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you call them something different, Mac.

ReplyDeleteI hope to be visiting some of them later this year, Nicola.
DeleteArizona has vast amounts of heaths, except they are covered with sagebrush, creosote bushes, and manzanita.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds aromatic, Oscar.
DeleteAfter a nice rain, it is.
DeleteWe have lots of sagebrush heath here in Wyoming also. Why did someone mention a Heath bar? Now I want one too.
ReplyDeleteNow I want to know what they are. If I discover them I'll be forced to eat one for research purposes.
DeleteAlso a prime minister.
ReplyDeleteAnd a former colleague of mine, Rosemary (no relation as far as I know).
DeleteYou can wander for miles on some heath-land, Patsy. It's also popular with sheep.
ReplyDeleteI do wander for miles sometimes, Carol.
DeleteI really like heathers but I wish they had more of a perfume.
ReplyDeleteNot would make them even nicer, Liz.
