A Season Ago

... already.

Organic lavender growing this summer, long days, busy with butterflies and bees.

The lavender plants grew so well this year there was plenty to dry and use for eye pillows - here are the aromatic flowers with some new organic cottons. When these pillows are sold I think I'll buy more plants for next summer - bee haven, holistic.

Flowers, Dancing, Gulls

A fragrant parcel: new lavender  arrived from Chateau de la Gabelle, Provence. Single origin, organically grown on a sunny mountainside 1300ft above sea level… we're dreaming of flower fields and tours around perfumeries in medieval towns… (a neat way to send it, flat like a letter).

school summer holidays have begun, freesia and gypsophila my daughter chose

ballet school continues for another week - these light summer evenings I go to watch the gulls hunting among the waves while she dances
