Lavender Fields

23 Replies

Every year we treat ourselves to a visit to the lavender fields. It’s like a pilgrimage we make. To stand and gaze upon them is such a satisfying and pleasurable experience. Purple is a strong colour and I find that if you look at the field long enough, it’s as if everything around you takes on a purple hue. The image I took here shows one of the numerous fields. It was a good day.

      Thanks Dan. There are a couple of Lavender farms in Kent. The fields are really beautiful and they create all sorts of Lavender products on these farms. Quite something to visit them.

    What a glorious sight.
    I feel as though I have a special connection to the sight and perfume of Lavender (being a qualified Aromatherapist in the early 1990s and using it fairly regularly), but somehow it always makes me think of my beloved maternal Grandmother.

    I think she might have had Lavender amidst her linen drawers as everytime we stayed for the school holidays on the farm, that fragrance is what I remember. Don’t know whether that’s true or false, or just an imagined memory.

      Thank you for sharing that Vicki. You would have then enjoyed all the industry around Lavender on the farm. We bought some products and they’re marvellous. Keep well Vicki.
