So today was one of those wonderful days when Eloise and I could indulge completely in some mother and daughter loveliness together. The boys had all gone off to the Grand Prix leaving us free to head off to Mayfield Lavender Farm near Banstead.
Every summer we try and pop along at least once, but this year was the earliest we had managed to get there and were rewarded by the first field being in full bloom. A completely lush blanket of purple. Another month this will be fading and the second field in flower. It was a little on the drizzly side, which meant we couldn't have any 'sitting down on the grass photos', but on the up side the sunlight was diffused by cloud making better portrait photos.
It's also perfect for blocking out any unwanted people in the background!
Makes the perfect backdrop
and adds some interest to an overcast sky.
There is such a perfect little shop selling home grown lavender products and goodies to eat. We can never leave empty handed and treated ourselves to some new lavender plants too.
I can't wait to go back to this wonderful little gem very soon (hopefully on a sunny day)
