Just a little distraction yesterday when I sat in this garden with a cuppa, just had to take a picture of the lavender just getting ready to burst into flower!
I will definitely be visiting this garden again when the lavender is in full bloom. I can just imagine sitting here with a glass of wine and the aroma of wonderful lavender. Aaah.....heaven! And then I started to wonder how you could keep the reminder of that perfume and searched the web for Pot Pourri. I found this on a lovely website by a lady called Elaine, the page is called Elaines Lavender Page and has all kinds of quotes and facts about lavender. Many thanks Elaine!
