First we were greeted with this sweet booth, where a woman was crafting lavender wreaths. Each sold for about £24.
A few steps down was a large barn filled with little stalls selling local produce. There plenty of delicious things to sample - cheese, chutneys jams...
Obviously, there was lavender everywhere...
Next, we took a mosey out in the fields.
The scent of lavender mingled with the slightly more delicious frangrance of roasting meat. Overpowered, we gave in and had lunch. Delicious burgers made from the farm's cows...
I almost felt guilty.
Almost! They were very good burgers though, slathered in a selection of those aforementioned locally produced chutneys and sauces.
Rejuvenated, we returned to the fields to enjoy the lavender again. We weren't the only ones enjoying the flowers!
Incidentally, we sampled some of the lavender honey so kindly created by these industrious bees. Good effort, bees, but a little too sweet for my liking!
The farm stalls were doing brisk trade. Everything, especially the fat bundles of lavender, seemed to be flying off the shelves.
An absolutely perfect day out!

Wow, I didn't have any idea how lavender festival works. You I could see it from your blog.
