This year's wreath, including lavender from a visit to @CastleFarmKent earlier this year and conifer foliage kindly given to me by a friend. Everything else is from the allotment or garden. I'm chuffed with it!

The beauty of lavender never fades ๐
Every summer we visit @CastleFarmKent to see the lovely lavender before it is harvested. The beauty of the field never ceases to amaze me.
Lovely walk today around Shoreham, Kent, with two longtime friends known on the odd occasion to get the three of us lost in fields in the middle of nowhere at dusk! #KentWalks#Shoreham#Lavender@CastleFarmKent (1/3)
Yesterday, County Advisers from the East, along with regional director Zoe Leach, met up at @CastleFarmKent.
It was great to learn about the essential oils industry and chat about our new East region.
