Lavender is something you love or hate. I love it!
I have picked some of my lavender this morning for drying. The bees were not very happy, they tried to follow me into the house.
The lavender and the oleander have filled our conservatory with an intoxicated smell.There is a lavender company not far from us, Somerset Lavender, where they grow lavender for their lovely products. I have bought some of my plants from them.
They have a small shop on site and a tea room, where I have for the first time tasted a lavender cake, a lovely sponge cake with small amount of lavender flowers in it.
I expected it to be a little overpowering, but in fact it tasted very nice.
